Astrometric Research at the Yale University Observatory. Dr. Van Altena will continue a wide range of current and planned long term astrometric research based at Yale University. This award will provide some support for the reduction of data from the Southern Proper Motion Survey, but the principal objective is to support those operations that are closely related to the PI's facilities in New Haven, CT. Dr. Van Altena plans to produce a catalog of Right Ascensions and Declinations for faint stars seen from the Southern Hemisphere for use with large telescopes in determining positions of faint extra-galactic objects and positioning fiber optic probes for spectrographs. Work will continue on the determination of parallaxes of selected stars of astrophysical interest and on determination of reliable proper motion memberships in stellar clusters.

耶鲁大学天文台的天文学研究。 Van Altena博士将在耶鲁大学继续进行广泛的现行和计划的长期天文研究。 该奖项将为减少南部适当运动调查的数据提供一些支持，但主要目的是支持与康涅狄格州纽黑文市PI的设施密切相关的操作。 范·阿尔滕纳（Van Altena）博士计划生产从南半球看到的微弱恒星的右升级目录，以与大型望远镜一起使用，以确定微弱的半乳酸对物体的位置和光谱仪的光纤探针的位置。 在确定天体物理兴趣的选定恒星的视差以及确定恒星簇中可靠的运动成员身份的情况下，将继续工作。
