RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Students at ONU have done serious research projects with me primarily in the area of supermassive black hole demographics, but also in clusters of galaxies. They work with data from the Hubble Space Telescope and from ground-based observatories like Magellan and the MDM observatory.
MY BACKGROUND
Astronomy Links and Astronomy Outreach
ONU Astronomy Club - Here are pictures of previous members having
fun, fun, fun.
Lima Astronomical
Society - Check out the historic Schoonover Observatory.
International Dark Sky
Association - dark skies are an endangered species.
Universe Today
- A Video on light pollution by the IDSA.
ONU's Astronomy Pictures
- Images taken with ONU equipment.
ONU's Galaxy Gallery -
Entitled "Galaxies across the Hubble sequence", this
web gallery contains images from professional observatories.
It was created with the help of our students.
