Backer, DonaldUniversity of California, BerkeleyAST 98-20662Dr. Backer will carry out studies of Sgr A* and the Crab nebula and pulsar using a variety of radio telescopes and instrumentation. The studies are unified by the theme of high energy plasma astrophysics and the common technique of using distortions in the interstellar medium as probes of the nature of the object. Studies of the radio source at the galactic center, Sgr A* will include imaging, investigations of the nature of its temporal variability, and the use of its proper motions in dynamical studies. Studies of the Crab nebula and pulsar rely on interpreting pulsar signals that propagate through the interstellar medium to study issues such as the structure of the magnetic field structure in parts of the Galaxy, and the intrinsic properties of the pulsars themselves.

支持者，加利福尼亚州的唐纳通道，伯克利亚斯特98-20662DR。支持者将使用各种射电望远镜和仪器进行SGR A*以及螃蟹星云和脉冲星的研究。 这些研究是由高能量等离子体天体物理学的主题和在星际培养基中使用变形作为物体性质的探针的常见技术的统一。 在银河中心的无线电源的研究SGR A*将包括成像，对其时间变异性的研究以及在动力学研究中使用其适当动作的研究。 对螃蟹星云和脉冲星的研究取决于解释通过星际介质传播的脉冲星信号，以研究诸如银河系部分中磁场结构的结构以及脉冲星本身的内在特性。
