Dunham gives presentation at American Astronomy Society meeting

Michael Dunham, assistant professor of Physics, was invited to deliver a presentation, “Surveying Low-Mass Star Formation with the Submillimeter Array,” at the 231st meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) on Jan. 9 in Washington, D.C.

Determining how stars gain their mass and the resulting implications for planet formation is the focus of Dr. Dunham’s research.

The AAS, formed in 1899, is a major organizer of professional astronomers in North America. Its mission is to enhance and share humanity’s scientific understanding of the universe.
