Astronomy Research
Professors Batuski and Comins coordinate with graduate students to form the astronomy group. The group uses a network of Sun and Linux/Pentium workstations and an extensive set of software for research purposes, such as:
- N-body and hydrodynamic modeling of disk galaxy dynamics
- AIPS and IRAF data analysis packages (observational research)
- Fortran, Pascal, and C++ programming
- IDL, PGPLOT, SUNvision, and PHIGS graphics packages
