Research Interests
George Rhee is
interested in obervational cosmology. He works
on clusters of galaxies imaged at optical, radio and X-ray
wavelengths. The goal is to use clusters of galaxies to put
constraints on theories of galaxy formation and the nature of dark
matter in the universe. In addition, he is working on
gravitational lensing as a tool to measure the Hubble constant,
studies of the most distant galaxies, and N-body simulations of
structure formation in the universe. He uses the VLA, ROSAT, Kitt
Peak, ESO telescopes and others for his work.
