From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stephanie A. Snedden is an American astronomer at the Apache Point Observatory of the New Mexico State University in New Mexico, United States.[1][2] The minor planet 133008 Snedden is named after her; it was discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at Apache Point Observatory on 5 October 2002.[2] She has published papers including The Case for Optically Thick High-Velocity Broad-Line Region Gas in Active Galactic Nuclei.[3]
Education
Snedden gained her BS from Sonoma State University in 1983,[1] her MS in physics and astronomy from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1995,[4] and her PhD from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln 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]
