Astronomer and Associate Director for Science

My research is in high energy astrophysics, particularly the late stages of stellar evolution and compact stars. My vitae and publication list is available here in Adobe Acrobat pdf format or in postscript format. The text of some of my recent publications can be found on-line via these links. An almost complete set of links to my publications, via the NASA Astrophysics Data System, is here . A few of my education and science policy papers are also avalable on line.

Although I've been involved with the Hubble Space Telescope project continuously for 25 years, there are a variety of other things that also keep me busy. Together with more than 100 other colleagues, I've worked for more than a decade on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).

It's also been a quarter-century since the discovery of the unique properties of SS433, the only known galactic object with visibly-emitting relativistic jets, but I still, believe it or not, get occasional requests for a information or a finding chart.

I've done a number of one-hour television features for UWTV. If you're interested in the "Cosmic Recycling: We Are Made of Stars," it's shown nationwide periodically on the Research Channel, on many local educational and university stations, and also may be viewed on-line, if you have a high speed internet connection. The most recent program, Hubble Space Telescope: Glimpsing the Birth of the Universe , was taped before a live audience in Seattle on January 7, 2003, and is part of the American Astronomical Society's Second Century Lecture Series. It will begin airing in March 2003. Send me email for information on how to obtain videos of past programs.

The Powerpoint of my October 4, 2004 talk to the IAC 2004 in Vancouver BC can be found here (27 MB file).
