Wilcots, Eric AST 96-16907 Dr. Wilcots will study the structure, distribution, kinematics and other properties of giant H I envelopes around irregular galaxies. The project has four specific goals -- to reveal what, if any, structure there is in the extended gas; to measure the kinematics of the far-flung gas; to determine the relationship between the gas in the outer parts of the galaxy with that in the inner parts; and to determine the relationship between the extended gas and the star formation history of the optical galaxy. This is a collaborative project with Dr. Deidre Hunter at the Lowell Observatory through AST 96-16940.

Wilcots，Eric AST 96-16907 Wilcots博士将研究围绕不规则星系的巨型H I信封的结构，分布，运动学和其他特性。 该项目有四个特定的目标 - 揭示延长气体中存在的结构（如果有的话）；测量遥远气体的运动学；确定星系外部的气体与内部部分中的气体之间的关系；并确定延长气体与光学星系的恒星形成历史之间的关系。 这是通过AST 96-16940与Lowell天文台的Deidre Hunter博士进行的合作项目。
