Dan Gettings @ UF Astronomy

Thanks for visiting

I am a second-year graduate student in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Florida

Current Work

I am currently working on analyzing the clustering of galaxies in the Bootes field of the NEWFIRM Deep Wide Field Survey under the direction of Dr. Anthony Gonzalez.

Prior to UF

I received my B.A. in Physics from the State University of New York at Geneseo in May 2008. While at Geneseo, I worked in the Astronomy Research group under Dr. Aaron Steinhauer. My work involved using Point Spread Function photometry to derive revised estimates of age, distance and cluster membership for the open cluster NGC 2423. Our work was presented in a poster at the January 2008 meeting of the AAS in Austin, Texas. (Link to Abstract on ADS).
