Mr. Rapp, Beth Thomas, and Lauren Chapple have been making plans for the group's visit to SSC. They are all currently reading and summarizing articles from the from the collection of journal articles from Round 1 to get some insight into infrared spectroscopy and hopefully help us better understand our data.

Mr. Rapp is giving a regional workshop on Infrared Astronomy and the Spitzer Telescope on March 30 at the Southwest Virignia Higher Education Center. He will be taking about 18 students to the NRAO on March 24-26 to use a radio telescope to try and zero in some of the AGN targets. They will also do some hands-on activities with Infrared Astronomy.
