Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy Through K-12 Education and Public Outreach (Paper II)
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
In order to attract, recruit and retain underrepresented minority students to pursue Astronomy and related fields, we must ensure that there continues to be a well qualified pool o…
Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy at the Undergraduate, Graduate, and Postdoctoral Levels (Paper I)
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
If the ethnic makeup of the astronomy profession is to achieve parity with the general population within one generation (~30 years), the number of underrepresented minorities earni…
Increasing the Number of Underrepresented Minorities in Astronomy: Executive Summary
Dara Norman, CSMA, NSHP +30
Promoting racial and ethnic diversity is critically important to the future success and growth of the field of astronomy. The raw ability, drive and interest required to excel in t…
POET: POlarimeters for Energetic Transients
J. E. Hill, M. L. McConnell, P. Bloser +15
POET (Polarimeters for Energetic Transients) is a Small Explorer mission concept proposed to NASA in January 2008. The principal scientific goal of POET is to measure GRB polarizat…
Rotational velocities of low-mass stars in the Pleiades and Hyades
Donald M. Terndrup, John R. Stauffer, Marc H. Pinsonneault +5
We have obtained high-resolution spectra of 89 M dwarf members of the Pleiades and Hyades and have derived radial velocities, H-alpha equivalent widths, and spectroscopic rotationa…
A Search for Photometric Rotation Periods in Low-Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs in the Pleiades
Donald M. Terndrup, Anita Krishnamurthi, Marc H. Pinsonneault +1
We have photometrically monitored (Cousins Ic) eight low mass stars and brown dwarfs which are probable members of the Pleiades. We derived rotation periods for two of the stars -…
