Eric L. N. Jensen Astronomy Research and Teaching T Tau in the infrared T Tau in visible light Why so different? I'm an associate professor in, and chair of, the Physics and Astronomy Department at Swarthmore College . My research interest, broadly speaking, is astrobiology , the study of the origin and distribution of life in the cosmos. More specifically, the piece of that puzzle that I'm currently working on is trying to understand the formation of planets around other stars through observations of young stars whose ages (1-100 million years) suggest that they may be in the process of forming planets. This page gives a short introduction to what I do. Astronomy Research Publications of my research, and a current CV Young, nearby stars . In the last few years, astronomers have discovered a number of relatively young (only about 10 million years old!) stars that are quite nearby (only about 150 light years). These stars are difficult to find because they are not associated with large clouds of gas and dust, as is common for younger stars. These stars are of interest because their proximity to Earth and their youth make them good targets for observing planet formation, and possibly for imaging the planets themselves. My students and I have been working on a survey to search for such stars in the southern sky. I also study protoplanetary disks around young binary stars. I'm interested in planet formation in binary systems, and whether such planets would be habitable.

Astronomy Research at UW-Eau Claire Faculty in the department are active in many areas of astronomical and astrophysical research: Dr. Lyle Ford studies the rotation properties of asteroids using observations from Hobbs Observatory. He has also investigated the spectra of gamma-ray bursts. Dr. Lauren Likkel is involved with near-infrared spectroscopy of planetary nebulae and studies of millimeter emission from molecules in circumstellar envelopes. Dr. Nathan Miller uses data from the NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the ESA's XMM-Newton satellite to understand the powerful winds of hot stars. He is developing spectroscopic monitoring program for emission-line B stars using Hobbs observatory. Dr. George Stecher makes photometric observations of asteroids and eclipsing binary stars using Hobbs Observatory's 24" telescope. Dr. Paul Thomas creates computer models of solar system phenomena. His research and some of his students projects can be seen on the UWEC Planetary Science page Current and recently completed projects involving UWEC students include: Gravitational lens computer models Measuring the rotation period and orbit of the asteriod Aten Photometric measurements of the stars AP Aurigae and XY Leonis at Hobbs Observatory.

PREVIOUS PAGE ASTRONOMY RESEARCH PROJECT Aims This project should take the place of a Sixth form Physics Practical project. The students could undertake it as a real research project or make it a search for some feature, for example, a new supernova. Introduction The Bradford Robotic Telescope can obtain images of almost any star in the northern sky. For rapid turnaround you will need to check where the stars are during the night to ensure that they can be seen by the telescope during the hours of darkness. The easiest way to do this is to use a programme like Skyglobe which displays the position of stars at any time and place. ( Skyglobe is available from the Bradford Engineering in Astronomy Group or from Hensa gopher://micros.hensa.ac.uk:70/11/micros/ibmpc//dos//f/f688 ) An alternative is to use a Phillips Planisphere for the UK (51�� North) which is available from good bookshops. The main research function of this telescope is its ability to measure the brightness of an object with great precision, although control via the Internet brings it to your classroom or home. Project Some general questions are raised - the same as those at the end of "The Galaxy and the Universe" project in the Nuffield programme for year eleven. A few more specific ideas are indicated, although research is still generally at the stage of looking for particular changes. The observations undertaken by the

This fascination has also gained an immense importance into the theoretical and experimental field. The astronomers have been in the battle to get sight of or information on other planets that are similar to Earth. The astronomers have gained success in finding some planets that seem to be similar to earth but are rather larger in size, probably larger than Jupiter. However the hunt is still on for the smaller planets with traces of life on it. Introduction of the “Exoplanet Missions Program”: A scientist named Don Figer from the Rochestor Institute of Technology has been working from past few months to find a new way of detecting the Exoplanet. This technology is being funded by the NASA’s Technology Development for Exoplanets. The purpose of this detector technology is to take clear and straight ahead images of the suspected Exoplanets. The program is being funded for the precise period of two years only to achieve specific characteristics in the detector technology.
