... Radio astronomers at Arecibo Observatory observe a wide variety of phenomena in the Milky Way and in other galaxies. ... Some REU projects are carried out on pre-existing data, and others rely on obtaining new data. ... Deriving a new shape model from existing radar images has been a popular student project in past years, and there are data sets that could be used for this. We are collecting thermal infrared emission data for many of the near-Earth asteroids that are also observed with radar. ...

... Dark Matter Ring Modeled around Galaxy Cluster CL0024 17 . ... A new observation of gravitationally magnified faint galaxies far in the distance behind a massive cluster of galaxies is shedding new dark on the subject. ... A hypothesis for the formation of the huge dark matter ring holds that it is a transient feature formed when galaxy cluster CL0024+17 collided with another cluster of galaxies about one billion years ago, leaving a ring similar to when a rock is thrown in a pond. ...
