		Andrea is a personal name common in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
		Another prominent fictional Andrea (though played by a real Andrea, Andrea Byrne) was in the 1980s children's television programme You Can't Do That on Television, which in its - later banned - "Adoption" episode, parodied the character of Little Orphan Annie as "Little Orphan Andrea".

		Ghez employed her new technique to look at young stars, anticipating she'd find either no binaries, meaning the capture theory was correct, or the same proportion found in middle-aged stars, suggesting companions emerge in the process of star formation.
		Ghez's diffraction-limited imaging at Keck has also broken the impasse on a question that has tantalized scientists for years: whether a massive fl hole lies at the center of our galaxy.
		For Ghez, it's simply a matter of mapping mass distribution, using the stars in the center of the galaxy as "test particles" to determine mass of material interior in its orbit.

		In her research, Ghez used the 10-meter Keck I Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii -- the world’s largest optical and infrared telescope -- to study the movement of 200 stars that are close to the galactic center.
		One explanation for observing a bright source in only one image, Ghez said, is that it was a “gravitational lensing event,” which occurs when the light path from a star passing behind the fl hole is bent by the strong gravitational field of the fl hole.
		Ghez’s research is supported by the National Science Foundation through an NSF Young Investigator Award, the Packard Foundation, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

	Astronomer Andrea Ghez Awarded Gold Shield Prize... 6/9/2004
		Ghez and UCLA colleague Mark Morris, a professor of physics and astronomy, reported the detection of remarkably stormy conditions in a hot plasma being pulled into the monstrous fl hole residing at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, 26,000 light years away.
		Earlier this year, Ghez was recognized with three premier academic honors: she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; and received the Sackler Prize, an international award intended for young scientists who have made outstanding and fundamental contributions in their fields.
		Ghez earned her Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology and her B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; she was a Hubble Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory.

	Case for massive black hole strengthened
		UCLA astronomer Andrea Ghez announced more than four years ago that a monstrous fl hole resides at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, 24,000 light years away, with a mass more than 2 million times that of our sun.
		Ghez and her colleagues have detected the orbits for eight stars close to the galactic center.
		Ghez is now searching for additional fl holes or other dark matter near the massive fl hole.

		Ghez achieved the ultra-fine resolution with the combination of a 10-meter telescope, a Caltech near-infrared camera and a highly-sophisticated computerized imaging technique that she perfected.
		Ghez’s technique, however, improves the resolution by a factor of 20, and enabled her team to follow the movement of individual stars from year to year.
		Ghez’s co-authors on the Nature paper are UCLA physics and astronomy professors Mark Morris and Eric Becklin, UCLA graduate student Angelle Tanner and UCLA undergraduate Ted Kremenek.

		ANDREA GHEZ: The Keck telescope is a fabulous telescope to use.
		ANDREA GHEZ: These stars that we've been watching are 2 light weeks from the, from the centre of our galaxy, so their motion, the fact they are going 1,000 kilometres per second tells us that within 2 light weeks there's 2 million times the mass of the sun of matter there.
		ANDREA GHEZ: All of a sudden we saw something that looks like a star, but maybe isn't a star, but it's definitely a new object in our map and the interesting thing is that it's located where we think the fl hole is.

		Andrea Ghez (as in ``says'') of the University of California at Los Angeles said today the speeding stars are the best evidence yet that there's a giant fl hole at the center of the galaxy.
		Ghez's announcement _ the results of three years of study using Hawaii's Keck I telescope _ came at an international workshop in Tucson for astronomers who study the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
		Ghez said the powerful Keck telescope, which uses infrared radiation, allowed her to see stars very close to the fl hole _ about four times the width of the sun's solar system away.

	UCLA Special Events and Protocol
		Andrea Ghez, professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is one of the world's leading observational astrophysicists, whose work sheds light on how our Milky Way galaxy, our Sun, and our Earth came to be.
		From her measurements of the orbital dynamics of stars near our galactic center, Professor Ghez has demonstrated the existence of a central, dark mass concentration with a density more than 10 million times larger than the largest earlier estimates, thereby making the case for a supermassive fl hole.
		Professor Ghez's observations show conclusively that there is no other physical explanation of the stellar dynamics than the presence of a fl hole, and they improve our understanding of the nature of matter at the center of our galaxy.

		Ghez believes that her parents' high expectations for her, and their faith that she would succeed, played an important role in shaping her ambitions; from a very young age, she assumed that she would earn a Ph.D..
		Ghez relishes the freedom to define what problems she works on, and the opportunity to travel to interesting places like Hawaii to use their telescopes.
		In addition to science, Ghez is passionate about swimming, which she does with a master's swim team: "I do it to keep my head screwed on straight and to meet people who don't think about science all day long.

		The case is made most strongly on the basis of a newly discovered star, S0-16, which passed within 60 AU (just slightly larger than the distance between the sun and Pluto) of the fl hole, moving at approximately 52 million miles per hour - the highest velocity observed yet at the galactic center.
		Since 1995 Ghez has been using the W.M. Keck Observatory's 10-meter Keck I Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii - the world's largest optical and infrared telescope - to study the movement of 200 stars close to the galactic center.
		One surprising result Ghez learned from the spectroscopy is that the stars closest to the fl hole appear to very young - less than 10 million years old.

	'Supermassive' Black Hole Found In The Center Of Our Galaxy
		The evidence is being reported this week at the Central Parsecs Galactic Center Workshop '98 in Tucson, Arizona, by Andrea Ghez, of the University of California-Los Angeles.
		Since Ghez could not directly see a fl hole, she inferred its presence by searching for the gravitational influence it imposes on nearby objects she could see, namely stars.
		Using this technique in 1995, Ghez witnessed the disappearance of a star that was, at the time, the closest object to the fl hole.

		Although the behavior of stars at the galaxy's core hints at the possibility of a nearby fl hole, the image of those stars is distorted by our atmosphere.
		But by using a special technique she helped to develop that significantly improved resolution, Ghez could accurately observe the behavior of the stars.
		For her work, she's received the 1998 Newton Lacy Pierce Prize in Astronomy, given for outstanding achievement to an astronomer under 36, the 1999 Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award from the American Physical Society for outstanding achievement by a woman scientist, and numerous other accolades and recognition.
