Highlights of team activities

January 2009

The team presented the following three posters at the January 2009 AAS meeting in Long Beach:

Star Formation in Lynds Dark Nebulae (ADS Abstract)

Spitzer - Hot & Colorful Student Activities (ADS Abstract)

Research-based Astronomy in the Secondary Classroom: Lessons Developed for Investigating YSOs Using APT, Excel, MaxImDL, and MOPEX (ADS Abstract)

August 2008

The fourth (and final) observation from our program is done.

July 2008

The third observation from our program is done.

June 2008

The second observation from our program is done.

The Lynds Team of had a very successful visit to the SSC to work on their Spitzer data with lead scientist Luisa Rebull on June 14-17, 2008. Between the teachers and students, they had a large group of 18 people. The team confirmed the presence of a likely Class I protostar in the one cloud which had available data (Lynds 425), determining its Spitzer SED for the first time.

May 2008

The first observation from our program is done.

Funding for NITARP comes from the NASA ADP program and NASA/Archive EPO program.
