Solar, Stellar, and Exoplanet Astronomy at NMSU
Welcome to the home page of the solar, stellar, and exoplanet research group at New Mexico State University's Department of Astronomy. Faculty and students jointly conduct research in solar physics and helioseismology, stellar modeling, asteroseismology, star formation history of galaxies, gamma-ray bursts, numerical simulations, transiting planet observations, stellar photometry and spectroscopy, cataclysmic variables, and several other areas. New Researchers in the Solar Group
A big welcome to our three new Post Doctoral Scientists, Dr Aleksandra Andic (Small Scale Chromospheric Dynamics), Dr Vigeesh Gangadharan (MHD Modelling), and Dr Patrick Gaulme (Stellar Seismology).
The 2011 Solar Physics Division Meeting at NMSUThanks for joining us in Las Cruces June 12 - June 16, 2011 for the Annual SPD/AAS meeting.
August 2010 - Welcome James McAteer!
James joins our faculty from a Marie Curie Fellowship at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. His research deals with the Sun, in particular flares, coronal mass ejection events, and coronal heating mechanisms. He is a co-developer of the Solar Monitor website.
