Summer Research Opportunities through Carleton
Volume 25, Issue 9Students: Because of the construction of the new building, Physics department faculty will not have access to their labs for research this summer. HOWEVER, we still plan to offer research opportunities for students. Faculty are in the process of determining exactly what, how, and where this will happen. We will publish information soon about applying for these research positions. Check back in Radiations for updates!

Astronomy Special Project with Ryan
Volume 25, Issue 7Potential project for student help: We are currently monitoring the brightness of many nearby stars using the LCO telescope network, to better understand their activity and rotation and to vet them as potential targets for exoplanet searches. This process involves the analysis of huge numbers of images that get observed each night. We need help analyzing these images! I’m looking for a student to help out. If you’re interested, please get in touch with me at rterrien@carleton.edu .
