Cohn and Lugger search for CVs and other x-ray sources in globular clusters, in connection with their modeling of the dynamical evolution of globular clusters. Marvin Leventhal, Chair The Astronomy Department at UMCP is engaged in astronomical research covering the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays of both an observational and theoretical nature. Faculty members doing research in high energy astrophysics include Marvin Leventhal, Cole Miller, Sylvain Veilleux, and Andrew Wilson. Curent emphasis is on AGN and compact galactic objects. The Department also benefits from a close working relationship with the nearby Goddard Space Flight Center.
