Group 6
Team Project on Observation:
We are looking for an opportunity of conducting an observational project using the Submillimeter Array SMA). This is a team project, and not a project for individuals. A summer student can join the team project (together with his/her own project) if he/she is interested in working on this project and if his/her supervisor agrees on sharing time with an extra project.
