[phas-dept] Undergrads: need a research project or honors thesis? URGENT

Wed Jan 22 09:54:33 CST 2014

One of the closest Type Ia supernovae in modern times has just been detected in the galaxy Messier 82.  Following this supernova as it gets brighter and fades would be a great student project for an undergrad (probably not a good grad project because every astronomer and their mother working on supernovae and cosmology will be following this).

If you are interested, let me know; we should start observing tonight at the Commerce Observatory.
