Abstract

Two students at Saint Joseph's High School (South Bend, IN) joined their teacher in a year-long, NOAO-Spitzer-sponsored research project exploring star formation rate (SFR) in three high red shift (z =.54 - .64) galaxy clusters (cl1037, cl1227, cl 1232). SFRs for each of 127 members of the three clusters, total cluster SFRs, morphology distribution and SFR-morphology relations were determined. Results were presented at a regional Intel Science and Engineering Fair, earning a First in Division--Intel Excellence in Computer Science award, and were published in the 2007 edition of the RBSE Journal. The students also produced a milestone map for the project, enabling other students (presenting) from subsequent years to climb into the research more efficiently. Associated public outreach activities were conducted, introducing some 2000 members of the public to multiwavelength astronomy and the Spitzer Space Telescope. In addition, the project received local newspaper coverage in the South Bend Tribune, with a subscription of 146,476. This poster highlights these research, educational, and public outreach facets of the project.
