American Astronomical Society Meeting Abstracts #231. 2018;231:#151.04. - add\_circle do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract Cataloging astrophysical sources is a fundamental operation in astronomy. While simple in principle, cataloging becomes more complicated for images with low signal to noise and degeneracies across different emission components. We analyze Chandra Deep...

American Astronomical Society Meeting Abstracts #231. 2018;231:#152.11. - add\_circle do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will be the world\rsquos largest telescope upon completion. The GMT employs seven 8 m primary mirror segments and seven 1 m secondary mirror segments. One challenge of the GMT is keeping the seven pairs of mirror...

American Astronomical Society Meeting Abstracts #231. 2018;231:#255.11. - add\_circle do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract Multiple groups have been working on modeling the mass distributions of the six lensing galaxy clusters in the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields data set. The magnification maps produced from these mass models will be important for the future study... Córdova Rosado REL, Doeleman S, Paine S, Johnson M, (EHT) EHT.

American Astronomical Society Meeting Abstracts #231. 2018;231:#149.53. - add\_circle do\_not\_disturb\_on Abstract We present results from an analysis comparing simulations of isolated spiral galaxies with recent observations of the circumgalactic medium (CGM). As the interface containing inflows and outflows between the interstellar and intergalactic media, the CGM... ## Undergraduate Links - [Office of Undergraduate Research and Fellowships](http://uraf.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do) - [STAHR](https://sites.harvard.edu/stahr/), Student Astronomers at Harvard-Radcliffe - [Harvard College Handbook](http://handbook.fas.harvard.edu/book/welcome), FAS summary of important deadlines in the undergraduate year - [Astrobites](https://astrobites.org/), Astrobites is a daily literature journal summarizing new astrophysical research posted to [astroph](http:/arxiv.org/archive/astro-ph).
