From Pittsburgh Astrophysics & Cosmology
Introduction
This page is intended as a general clearing house for information and other resources to be shared among the University of Pittsburgh Astrophysics and Cosmology Group members and our colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University and as a tool to expedite research and make collaborations more efficient. Some of these pages (the arXiv discussion, our publication lists) may be viewed by the larger community, but access to the remainder of this resource is restricted to those with user accounts.
This site is administered by Professor Andrew Zentner at the University of Pittsburgh. Professor Zentner's research group is funded by the University of Pittsburgh, the US National Science Foundation, and the US Department of Energy.
