AST-0602221Frinchaboy, PeterDr. Frinchaboy is awarded an NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While the Milky Way generally provides a unique laboratory for detailed studied of the chemodynamics of disk galaxies, many key areas of the Milky Way that are essential to understanding the evolution of disk galaxies still remain poorly studied: e.g., the structure and dynamics of both the central bar and the outer disk. Dr. Frinchaboy will (1) measure stellar kinematics and streaming motions along the Galactic bar to determine its extent and the nature of bar orbits, (2) measure metallicities of Galactic bar stars to probe bar evolution, and (3) determine the origin and chemical history of the outer Milky Way disk. Dr. Frinchaboy will also develop techniques to integrate research into courses in non-traditional, small colleges and to prepare future professors for teaching non-traditional students. In particular, Dr. Frinchaboy will develop inquiry-based labs that will utilize publicly available astronomical data as well as data that students obtain themselves with a small amount of University of Wisconsin telescope time. Dr. Frinchaboy will develop two 4-6 week long research-based projects to teach the fundamentals of stellar evolution and the cosmological distance scale; these projects will be implemented in the classrooms of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and at the Madison Area Technical College. Using methods developed by the DELTA program of Integrating Research, Teaching and Learning at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Frinchaboy will assess the effectiveness of these new hands-on, inquiry-based learning techniques by testing the comprehension and problem-solving skills of the students. Dr. Frinchaboy will also provide a workshop to postdocs and graduate students to prepare future small college professors for the different backgrounds and experiences that non-traditional students bring into the classroom.

AST-0602221FRINCHABOY，PETERDR。 Frinchaboy被授予NSF天文学和天体物理学博士后奖学金，以在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校进行研究和教育计划。虽然银河系通常为磁盘星系的化学动力学的详细研究提供了独特的实验室，但银河系的许多关键领域对于理解磁盘星系的演变至关重要，仍然对研究的研究仍然很差： Frinchaboy博士将（1）测量沿银河棒的恒星运动学和流动运动，以确定其范围和钢筋轨道的性质，（2）测量银河棒恒星的金属性探测杆的演化，（3）确定外层银河系磁盘的原点和化学史。 Frinchaboy博士还将开发技术，将研究整合到非传统的小型大学的课程中，并为未来的教授提供教学非传统学生的准备。特别是，Frinchaboy博士将开发基于询问的实验室，这些实验室将利用公开可用的天文数据以及学生在威斯康星大学望远镜时间少量时间获得自己的数据。 Frinchaboy博士将开发两个4-6周的基于研究的项目，以教授恒星进化和宇宙学距离的基础知识。这些项目将在威斯康星大学 - 怀特沃特大学和麦迪逊地区技术学院的教室中实施。 Frinchaboy博士利用Delta纳入威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的研究，教学计划开发的方法，将通过测试学生的理解和解决问题的技能来评估这些新的基于询问的学习技术的有效性。 Frinchaboy博士还将为博士后和研究生提供一个研讨会，以准备未来的小型大学教授，以提供非传统学生带入课堂的不同背景和经验。
