Buell Jannuzi jannuzi@noao.edu NOAO High Redshift or highly obsc. AGN and/or galaxies Extensive experience in study of distant AGN and galaxies, particularly those with high dust content and/or scattering present. Might be able to provide potential targets from NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey -- would depend on goals and needs of your program. Buell
Jay Elias jelias@noao.edu NOAO star formation, supernovae, stellar populations GNIRS Project Scientist - familiar with instrument. Specific interests in SMC/LMC science. Unfortunately I will be limited in my ability to contribute to proposal-writing as we are installing/commissioning the GNIRS IFU starting March 15.
Bob Blum rblum@ctio.noao.edu CTIO/NOAO Massive Stars, star formation, life, the universe and everything Strong background in near ir spectroscopy observations and data reduction.
Knut Olsen kolsen@ctio.noao.edu CTIO/NOAO Stellar populations, extragalactic star clusters Extensive experience in modelling stellar populations; some experience with near-IR photometry and spectroscopy, much more experience with optical photometry and spectroscopy
Ron Probst probst@noao.edu NOAO Star formation in Galaxy and LMC Experience with IR imaging and low resolution spectroscopy of stars and ISM, obs program in progress on massive star formation in environs of 30 Dor,NICI Co-Instrument Scientist, NEWFIRM Proj Scientist, collaborators in Chilean astronomical community.
Adam Burgasser adam@astro.ucla.edu UCLA Brown dwarfs, Low mass stars Experience with low, moderate, and high resolution NIR spectroscopy of cool stars and brown dwarfs; NIR classification and spectral analysis (temperatures, gravities, metallicities) of L and T dwarfs; NIR imaging and astrometric/photometric monitoring of cool dwarfs
Nicole Homeier nhomeier@pha.jhu.edu JHU Massive stars, WRs, star formation, metallicity + massive stellar evolution and vice versa, starburst galaxies Experience with NIR broad and narrowband imaging, low and moderate resolution spectroscopy, NIR spectral classification and analysis of OB and WR stars, NIR analysis of Galactic star clusters
