Research Activities

The Astrophysical & Space Science Research underway at UMBC can be
(rather arbitrarily) divided between that underway within
|
UMBC's
Physics Department's
|
UMBC's participation in
|
|
|
|
Joint Center for Astrophysics
|
Center for Research and Exploration in Space Science and Technology
|
Between these vehicles, UMBC has experise in the following areas
(alphabetically):
Astrophysical Data Reduction, Interpretation & Archiving
|
including
|
observations of Galactic & ExtraGalactic X- & Gamma-ray sources,
observations of ExtraGalactic InfraRed sources,
observations using LIGO,
observations of Cosmic Rays,
observations of energetic Solar particles.
|
|
using
|
data obtained by the
ACE,
CXO,
HST,
RXTE
Spitzer,
Suzarku,
Swift,
XMM-Newton
satellites and various ground-based facilities.
|
|
Space Science Technology Development & Calibration
|
including
|
development of grazing-incidence mirrors,
development of high-energy detectors,
development of UV/Optical photon-counting detectors.
|
|
for
|
(possible) inclusion on the
3-DTI,
Constellation-X,
GLAST,
JWST
missions, along with other applications.
|
|
Theoretical Astrophysics, Simulations & Software Development
|
including
|
simulations of Sources of Gravitational Waves,
simulations of Astrophysical Jets,
simulations of Gamma-Ray Bursts.
|
|
in support of
|
observations performed by the
CXO,
LIGO,
LISA
facilities.

As is the case elsewhere, many of UMBC's scientist's research interests cover more than one
of these areas. In addition to their individual research interests,
all UMBC scientists also have Teaching
and/or
'Programmatic' responsibilities.
