	"Two added to one-- if that could but be done," 
	It said, "With one's fingers and thumbs!"
	Recollecting with tears how, in earlier years,
	It had taken no pains with its sums.

Current Research


I am currently working on supernovae driven superwinds in blue amorphous galaxies. We have H-alpha images of about 20 southern galaxies, and for 12 of these we have high resolution long slit spectra and UBVI colors. I am currently analyzing the color images, and looking for relationships between the dynamics of the interstellar medium and galactic morphology and evolution. My data was taken at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory.



An image of NGC 5253 or the ghost of Elvis?
