RESEARCH
42-inch telescope dome

The Solar-Stellar Spectrograph

Wes Lockwood, Brian Skiff, and I are pleased to thank the National Science Foundation for their continued support of the SSS project. Observations will be continuing through early 2011.

Solar Analogs

Proceedings of the Second Annual Lowell Observatory Fall Workshop entitled Solar Analogs: Characteristics and Optimum Candidates, held October 5-7, 1997. Eventually I'll fold this into the main SSS site, and the pages are formatted in Jurassic HTML, but serviceable until I have time to give it a fresher skin.

Stellar Chromospheric Activity

I've published an invited review entitled Stellar Chromospheric Activity in the online journal Living Reviews of Solar Physics.

OUTREACH

The Lowell Blog

I'm one of the contributors to our blog, which we use for any Lowell news, from research results to new outreach programs. Check it out and enjoy!

Me in Barrow

Barrow, Alaska

In 2002, I had a wonderful opportunity to travel to Barrow, AK, in the dead of winter, to do some astronomy classes at the local elementary and high schools. Read my travelogue here.

Astronomical Imagery

I've become interested in CGI rendering while doing multimedia shows for use at Lowell. Here's a recent render of a newly discovered exoplanet, done with Blender.

FUN STUFF
Bach

Astronomy is fun, but music is divine. Check out my synth realization of the 14 Canons on the Goldberg Ground, BWV 1087, by Bach, at my alter-ego site. Or for something completely different, try my take on the minimalist classic In C by Terry Riley. In production: The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 (including the canons).

MTB

We have an odd concentration of mountain biking nuts here at Lowell, and our group, the Lowell Riders, has accumulated quite a few miles with (relatively) few bruises. Look here for pics and narratives of our misadventures.
