PERSONAL HOMEPAGE

 

Martin_and_family_3M_half_marathon_web.jpg

This is me with the family after the 2009 3M half marathon in Austin, TX.

(I’m wearing a medal because they gave one to everybody at the finish – not because I won anything!)

 

I am an astrophysicist in the Astronomy Department at the University of Texas.  If you want my astrophysics home page go to http://www.as.utexas.edu/~gaskell/. 

 

I am also a composer of what is popularly called “classical” music.  If you are interested in my music go to http://incolor.inebraska.com/gaskell/compose.html (you can hear MP3s and download some PDF files of sample pages of sheet music)

 

OTHER INTERESTS:

 

            Running – long distance (between 5 km and a half marathon).   Our whole family runs.

 

            Dancing – I love American square and contra dancing (contras are my favorite) and English country dancing.  I’ve also done some Irish and Scottish country dancing.  We helped start the Lincoln Contra Dances.

 

            Telescope making – see here for some picture of telescope mirror making parties.
