Jeff Carlin
Jeff Carlin is an undergraduate senior studying
Astrophysics, with a Mathematics minor, at San Francisco
State University. He was originally a Fine Arts
major at the University of Kansas, but this didn't
satisfy his curious nature, so after moving to San
Francisco, he changed majors to Astrophysics. Starting
in early 2001, Jeff began research on the Hubble
Space Telescope images that were used to create
the Hubble Heritage image of Omega Centauri, attempting
to identify optical counterparts for the X-ray sources
found by Daryl Haggard and Adrienne Cool in this
cluster. Jeff also plans to participate in an observing
run to Kitt Peak, Arizona later this fall to do
follow-up observations of an optical counterpart
of a field binary star system located via X-ray
data. Jeff has enjoyed his research experience thus
far, and looks forward to continuing research in
a Ph.D. program beginning in the Fall 2002 semester.
Jeff's hobbies include playing guitar and drums
and attending as many Giants and A's baseball games
as possible.
