Undergraduate Research
UR #7: METAL for Meteors
The undergrad research posts continue! This month’s post discusses meteor-modeling.
UR#6: Neutrinos and ICM Magnetic Fields
The undergraduate research series has been revived! This month’s post features research on neutrinos from failed supernovae and compact-object mergers, as well as research on magnetic fields in the intracluster medium.
Getting Started in Undergraduate Research
We have talked a number of times on here about NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs. But what if you want to stay at your undergraduate institution for the summer doing research? You know that professors are doing research and working with other students, but how do you get involved? Here are some ideas [...]
So You Want to Apply for an REU… Here’s How
If you are a sophomore or junior undergraduate, you might be considering participating in the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates program. We have some advice about how to apply for these programs and find the ideal summer research opportunity for you.
UR #5: Isolated Neutron Stars and Galaxy Evolution
This month’s undergrad research post is all about X-rays. Read on to learn more about studying the X-ray counterpart to a radio pulsar, and examining the evolution of galaxies using X-ray emission.
UR #4: Galaxy Distribution and Solar Oscillations
This month’s undergrad research installment features modeling of galaxy redshift distribution and a study of oscillations in the solar corona.
UR #3: Star Clusters and Shock-Heated Gas
Read about star clusters in M51 and shock-heated gas around galaxy groups and clusters in this third installment to our undergraduate research series.
UR #2: Near-Earth Objects and Hot Stars
Here’s the second installment in our series featuring undergraduate research!
UR #1: Gamma-Ray Bursts and Protostars
A couple of weeks ago we put out a call for descriptions of research being done by undergraduates, and we got a great response! Today we’re publishing the first installment.
