Spotlight... After obtaining a PhD degree in astronomy from Yale University, Professor Chaboyer was a post-doctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, and then a Hubble Fellow at the University of Arizona. He joined the Dartmouth faculty in 1998. Professor Chaboyer's research in astronomy focuses on theoretical and observational studies of stars in our Milky Way galaxy and its nearby satellite galaxies. This includes work on determining the ages of the oldest stars and in understanding the early formation history of the Milky Way. Professor Chaboyer is a member of NASA's Space Interferometry Mission science team, and is a principal investigator on a Hubble Space Telescope large observing project. |
Welcome to the Department of Physics & Astronomy! From the Chairman,
We in Physics and Astronomy are committed to the goal of combining the excitement of a research university with the sense of community
one finds at a small college. By focusing on a few core areas - astronomy and cosmology, quantum and condensed matter physics, plasma
and space physics - we provide a selection of independent research opportunities as well as an array of specialized courses and
research seminars in addition to the core courses. We place a high priority on teaching and mentorship at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Whether you wish to pursue a career in Physics/Astronomy, or study it enroute to a career elsewhere, we think you will find a
welcoming environment here.
