Stephanie Snedden
Stephanie A. Snedden is a researcher in space science at Apache Point Observatory,[1] New Mexico State University in the US. The minor planet 133008 Snedden 2002 is named after her; it was discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at Apache Point Observatory on 5 October 2002. She has published papers including The Case for Optically Thick High-Velocity Broad-Line Region Gas in Active Galactic Nuclei.[2]
Education
Snedden gained her BS from Sonoma State University in 1983,[1] her MS in physics and astronomy from the University of Nebraska in 1995,[3] and her PhD from University of Nebraska in 2001.[1]
Research interests
Snedden studies the physics of active galactic nuclei, particularly the structure and kinematics of gas in the broad-line region.[1]
Media
Snedden appeared on Nova, in the 13 April 2010 documentary Hunting the Edge of Space: The Ever-Expanding Universe.[4]
