Astro-Metrology Group
Astrophysics at University of Maryland
The goal of the research currently being conducted by the members
of the Astro-Metrology Group is to apply physics techniques to
various problems in astrophysics, astrometry, interferometry,
and related areas. In particular, they adapt new concepts to the
measurement of astronomical systems through design and production
of novel instruments and use of advanced image processing techniques.
Resources include access to data obtained by the Hubble Space
Telescope and Ground-based Adaptive Opitics Systems.
