CSOLOGO1 CSOLOGO2 Experience Submillimeter Astronomy in Summer at the CSO


Experience Submillimeter Astronomy in Summer at the CSO   
   John Carter, who is in the first year of a European Master's program at University of Orsay (Paris, France), is visiting CSO to have experiences on submillimeter astronomy.   He studies fundamental and applied physics at the university.  He has carried out two internships to study interstellar molecular clouds and Martian aerosol with the Mars Express team.  He chose CSO this year because he has great interest in infrared and submillimeter astronomy and astrophysics. 
   John is working with Dr. Richard Chamberlin, the technical manager at the CSO, to develop a code to analyze the atmospheric transmission data taken at the South Pole.  He is also in a team of the expanded Submillimeter Array (eSMA) project and in other science projects being done at the CSO that try to detect a new molecule from a starburst galaxy.  He arrived on the Big Island, Hawaii, in early May and will stay until early August.
