Students interested in doing solar astrophysics research with Zita should email her about the possibility doing Undergraduate Research (for how many credits?) Subject header = Solar contract. List CONCISE information about any background you may have in astronomy, calculus, physics (electromagnetism? using integral or differential equations?), and computers (Linux-based OS? IDL?) What other program(s) are you taking?
We currently have a growing group of solar physics students with a variety of backgrounds and interests, working together to learn basics, more advanced material, and/or to continue the exciting research done last year (the STAR project) by Evergreen students in Palo Alto (at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab, and interacting with the Stanford REU program). Our work will support analysis of data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, scheduled for launch in Feb. 2010.
Students interested in doing solar astrophysics
research with Zita in summer should enroll in Undergraduate Research and/or Astronomy & Cosmologies no later than Spring, and discuss your interest by email in advance. Spring 2009 and Summer 2009 announcements
