KPNO Summer Students - 1994 (1Sep94)
(from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 39, 1 September 1994)

KPNO is pleased again to host our five Summer Students, funded through the
National Science Foundation's Research Experience for Undergraduates Program.
The students are working with staff members on individual research projects
as well as participating in a student observing program organized by Nigel
Sharp at the Burrell Schmidt telescope.

Chris Gottbrath, a junior at Depauw University, is working with Ata
Sarajedini to look for dust in the globular cluster M2.

Stuart Norton, a junior at Wesleyan University, is working with Lisa Wells to
study the ejecta from SN1993J using spectra obtained at Kitt Peak.

Cynthia Phillips, a Senior at Harvard University, is working with Beatrice
Mueller on observations of comets. She has been determining the brightness of
pre-impact fragments of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, as well as obtaining
post-impact images of Jupiter. Phillips is also studying the rotation of
Comet Encke.

Christine Pulliam, a senior at the University of Texas at Austin, is working
with Ken Hinkle to analyze the 1-5 um spectrum of Arcturus obtained with the
4-m FTS to determine the abundances of C, N, and O, and several isotopic
ratios.

Wing-Sy Wong, a senior at Harvard/Radcliffe University, is working with Dave
De Young to analyze HST images of the active galaxy NGC 6251.
