Many Haverford students are traveling the country (and world) in pursuit of astronomy this summer. I’ll introduce the students who are engaging in off-campus activities in this post, and then over the summer they will each in turn say “hi” via this blog and update us with their activities. (In a separate post, I’ll introduce my summer research group here and what they’re investigating.)<\/p>\n
Maya Barlev (’12) – In the Netherlands working with the Universe Awareness (UNAWE) organization, supported by Haverford’s CPGC student internship program
\nErin Boettcher (’12) – REU program at the American Museum of Natural History studying brown dwarfs and their spectral properties
\nEmily Cunningham (’12) – REU program at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory studying double quasars
\nMiriam Fuchs (’13) – At Boston University, supported by Haverford’s KINSC student research program, studying low mass stars
\nJacob Gilbert (’12) – KNAC REU program at Swarthmore using their 24″ telescope to look for transiting planets in open star clusters
\nErica Hopkins (’14) – KNAC REU program at Colgate, I think using their telescope to participate in the long-term monitoring of a quasar
\nAndrew Sturner (’12) – At the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, supported by Haverford’s KINSC student research program, working in their Solar Astrophysics group<\/p>\n
Ivan Meehan, one of our astronomy majors, is also doing off campus research in a physics REU program.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to all of these students for earning their summer positions. I can’t wait to hear what they are up to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
