Steven Wilhelmy on a research trip to the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (FLWO) on Mt. Hopkins in Arizona.
Steven collected new spectra of galaxies in clusters to test models of galaxy formation. Steven is pictured with a FLWO 1.5-m telescope and the FAST spectrograph used to measure redshifts of galaxies for his senior thesis project. |
