Hélène Dickel, Adjunct Professor of Physics and Astronomy

Research Interests:

My primary interest is in the physical conditions and evolution of dense cores of giant molecular clouds from which massive stars form and in the subsequent interactions of these newly-formed stars and attendant HII regions on the remaining molecular gas. Molecular emission from these regions is studied via radio observations coupled with a non-LTE, multi-level radiative transfer code. I am currently involved in the development of the Long Wavelength Array at UNM.
