Scientific paper

The USAF Phillips Laboratory Scholar Program provided research opportunities for qualified doctorate-level engineers and scientists to work in the laboratory either at Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., or at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M. Twenty-seven scholars participated during the period of the contract, including four during the period 1 July 1997-28 May 1998. Dr. Sean Carey used UV extinction data to investigate the properties of interstellar dust grains and used data from the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) to investigate the structure of infrared-dark clouds. Dr. Brian Kane used data from the Five Colleges Radio Astronomy Observatory and the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) to investigate the structure and kinematics of Bok globules, which are small, isolated, star-forming clouds in our galaxy. Dr. Anthony Midey measured rate constants for ion-molecule reactions, using a high-temperature flowing afterglow (HTFA) apparatus. Dr. Susan Triantafillou adapted the lattice Boltzmann (LB) computational method to the prediction of atmospheric phenomena, including cloud development and turbulent eddies. Results of these research efforts are described in the individual contributions of the Scholars to this final report.
