Andy's Research Page

In my younger days ;-), I did research in both physics and astrophysics, and, as of 2007, have begun to do a little again. If you are brave, you can read some of my papers by clicking the title. Or you can choose the ADS link to go to the SAO/ADS abstract page. Just for fun, you can see the citation information at Google Scholars

For lighter reading, I have also included a copy of the issue of the Bulletin of the Oklahoma Ornithological Society where (starting on page 5) there is a brief note I wrote about the Ringed Turtle-Dove. It is interesting that this issue contains the last (posthumous) article written by George Miksch Sutton (whom I met a few times).
