The NCSU Astrophysics group has long enjoyed the participation of undergraduates in active research projects. The role of students ranges from assistance in data analysis of X-ray and radio observations, to fully independent research projects. In addition to working part time during the semester, each summer, several students immerse themselves in full time astrophysics research.
REU'08
Follow the link above to view the work of six students participating in the
Physics REU program for the summer of 2008, working on research projects in astrophysics. In addition
we have NCSU undergraduate students working part time in the group: Courtney Aartis is developing
a model of a solar-type wind in a close binary system, Patrick Keene and Joseph
Barton are developing techniques to test 3D Poisson solvers used in supernova
simulations, Sam Blondin is writing visualization software, and Andrew Brown
keeps everybody happy by keeping the computing hardware and software humming.
