Supervisor:ÌýJeremy Darling

Job:ÌýIdentifying absorption lines in the Lyman-alpha forest

Job Description:ÌýCosmic acceleration due to dark energy causes the redshifts of objects in space to slowly change over time, an effect known as secular redshift drift. We study absorption lines in the spectra of distant quasars to develop a direct measurement of cosmic acceleration through secular redshift drift. In this project, you will use quasar spectra from the Keck Observatory Archive to identify and determine the redshift of absorption lines in the Lyman-alpha forest.Ìý

Job:ÌýTelescope Observers

Job Description:ÌýLooking for observers to assist with taking regular and requested observations with a variety of telescopes, cameras, and filters. (Remote observations and control of the observatory only.) Observers will also be responsible for archiving data internally and will need to take calibration data as appropriate and take quality observations given the observing conditions. Because a lot of the work we do is defense-oriented, our funding requires observers to be US Citizens

Project: Build a database and produce a statistical study of SAD properties in solar flares.
