Grove City College physics major Darin Mumma, Lititz, has received a distinguished prize for his astronomy research at a recent physics conference. The sophomore's work, titled "Speckle Interferometry of Close Binary Star Systems," was selected as runner-up in the undergraduate research poster competition at a joint meeting of the Society of Physics Students, the Ohio Section of the American Physical Society and the Ohio Section of the American Association of Physics Teachers at the College of Wooster in Ohio.
Mumma's poster details research conducted using Grove City College's observatory, a facility located near Edinboro, that houses a 20-inch reflecting telescope equipped with research-grade instrumentation.
