CM4Seyferts (Color-Magnitude for Seyferts): Using ultraviolet images from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite and optical images and spectra from the ground based Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to find a correlation between the color and luminosity of the hot gas around supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies.
[My favorite part of NITARP is] Getting a chance to participate in cutting edge research. As an educator you don't always get those opportunities, since you're always focused on teaching, teaching, teaching, so it’s exciting to see the science that's happening in the present moment.
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful experience. I am not sure if I could ever say this enough. It will definitely be a time in my life/career I will not ever forget.
NITARP has transformed my life and the way I teach, so it's difficult to find anything that has NOT been influenced by this experience!
