About our speaker: |
|
|
 R.
Earle Luck is the Worcester R. and Cornelia B. Warner Professor
of Astronomy at Case Western Reserve University. His research
interests concentrate on problems of stellar evolution and
physics coupled to galactic chemical evolution. His primary
tools in this endeavor are abundance studies of stars based on
high-resolution spectroscopic data and detailed modelling of
stellar physics. When not considering the details of stellar
abundances, Professor Luck often looks to the past in a
consideration of archaeoastronomy, a subject about which he
teaches a writing course for entering first-year CWRU students. |
