Dear Gayle,
Could you please forward this query to all departmental faculty and
students?
Thanks,
Bill Waller
I have received five nights of observing time on the Kitt Peak 4-m
telescope (scheduled for Oct. 2-6) to carry out a near-infrared imaging
study of the nearby spiral galaxy M33. This presents a potential
opportunity for a student to become involved in an observational
astronomy project. The student's travel and (some) of his/her work
could be covered by funding from the Massachusetts Space Grant
Consortium. I am looking for a student with sufficient background to
take on such a project and run with it. Data reduction and analysis
using IRAF and/or IDL would be an important part of the project.
Please contact me directly at <william waller tufts edu>, if this is of
interest.
Prof. Bill Waller
