A New Universe to Explore: Careers in Astronomy Introduction - A New Universe to Explore Preparation for a Career in Astronomy High School College ... Astronomical Organizations and Resources Printed copies of this career brochure are no longer available. This item is currently out of print. We do not plan to reprint it until a revision is completed. Interested parties may download this online Career Brochure and reproduce as many copies as desired. Introduction "A professional research astronomer does not merely appreciate the beauty and wonder of the objects in the sky. This is the daily challenge - to come to some sort of understanding of the basic underlying physics that gave rise to the universe and the objects in it. It is this challenge and the satisfaction gained by solving these puzzles that drew me to astronomy." A New Universe to Discover W hen astronomer James Scotti was asked to photograph a newly discovered comet with the University of Arizona's 36-inch telescope, he was not prepared for the image that appeared on his computer screen. What he saw was not one comet but a chain of comets that looked like a string of pearls. "I was struck by the unique appearance of a train of individual [comet] nuclei all lined up in a row," Said Dr. Scotti. "I had never before seen such a unique image in a comet." In fact, nothing like it had been seen by other astronomers either. The pearls were the remnant of a comet that had come too close to Jupiter and broke into at least 21 fragments. Even more extraordinary, 18 months later these comet fragments, known collectively as Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, would collide with Jupiter, providing astronomers the opportunity to study such an event for the first time!

The Ohio State University Department of Astronomy From the mountains of Chile to the glaciers of the South Pole, Ohio State astronomy faculty travel the world as they work at the cutting edge of astronomical research. The research themes and interests of the faculty overlap considerably, providing an opportunity for students and postdocs to work closely with a variety of experts in many areas. The main research programs of the department may be summarized as follows: Extrasolar Planetary Systems Observational searches for extrasolar planets using gravitational microlensing, and cluster and field star transit surveys. Observational and theoretical studies of the demographics of planetary systems, and the possible linkages with the systematic properties like age and metallicity of the host stars of planetary systems. Stellar Evolution Theoretical and observational studies of the structure and evolution of stars, with applications that include helioseismology, the solar neutrino problem, the influence of stellar nucleosynthesis on chemical abundances, the properties of star clusters, and the measurement of fundamental stellar properties (mass, radius, rotation and activity, etc.) Theoretical, observational, and experimental studies of molecules and dust grains in interstellar and circumstellar environments, with attention to formation processes and diagnostics of physical conditions. Includes observational and theoretical investigations of interstellar gas and dust in the Milky Way and other galaxies, and the use of optical, and especially infrared observations to probe star formation activity.

NASA Home The Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Team of the National Space Science and Technology Center welcomes you to its home page. Our group includes scientists and engineers from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Universities Space Research Association (USRA) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). We are actively involved in several projects which are designed to investigate the high energy regime of our Solar System and Universe. The primary objectives of our research are to study gamma-ray phenomena such as pulsars black holes other galaxies gamma-ray bursts , and other exotic astrophysical objects. Current Projects The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, about to be released from Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1991 April. The eight BATSE detector modules are mounted on the corners of the satellite. Four are visible in the image. T he Burst and Transient Source Experiment. During 9 years of successful operation, the BATSE detectors on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) continually recorded observations of gamma-ray bursts, pulsars, and other transient gamma-ray phenomena. Although the CGRO mission was terminated by NASA in June 2000, new science from BATSE and complete data archiving projects continue to occupy members of the GRA team and provide services to the high-energy astrophysics community.
