KPNO Summer Students 1995 (1Sep95) (from KPNO, NOAO Newsletter No. 43, September 1995) 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. Seth Green, a Senior at Hiram College, is working with Nalin Samarasinha and Beatrice Muller studying possible rotation rates of comet P/Halley by comparison of computed images of the comet's CN jets with those observed during the 1986 Giotto encounter. Remy Indebetouw, a Senior at McGill University, is working with Dave DeYoung on hydrodynamical simulations of young stellar jets, based in part on maps of electron density and excitation obtained from narrowband CCD images. Regina Jorgenson, a Sophomore at the University of Puget Sound, is working with Nigel Sharp on studying emission structures in M81 and M82 from narrowband wide-field images obtained on the Burrell Schmidt telescope. Jonathan David Kemp, a Senior at Columbia University, is working with Edward Ajhar on photometry of Magellanic Cloud globular clusters. Angelle Tanner, a Senior at the University of Arizona, is working with Buell Jannuzi on wide-field imaging of quasar fields. Steve Hopkins, Dick Joyce
