The PI, Dr. Jonathan Williams, and co-PI, Dr. Robert Jedicke, will continue the Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program at the Institute for Astronomy (IfA), at the University of Hawaii Manoa campus. Eight undergraduates per year, during a ten-week summer program, will undertake research under the supervision of an IfA faculty member. Research areas include solar system astronomy, stellar astronomy, star formation studies and extragalactic astronomy. As part of the program, students will give a presentation to the IfA at an REU symposium at the end of the summer, and present poster papers at national meetings. Students will also take part in a weeklong observing project on two telescopes (one optical/infrared, one radio) at Mauna Kea Observatory.
