AST-0507551Robert DukesCollege of CharlestonCollaborative Proposal: RUI: An Automatic Telescope for Stellar Research andTraining of UndergraduatesABSTRACT:A series of collaborative and individual research programs will be carried out among fourastronomers at three primarily undergraduate institutions using the Four College AutomaticPhotometric Telescope, a 0.75-m telescope at the Fairborn Observatory site in Washington Camp,Arizona. Example projects are: frequency determinations of little studied main-sequence g-modepulsating stars (including slowly pulsating B stars and gamma Doradus stars); asteroseismology ofshort period delta Scuti, beta Cephei, and pulsating white dwarfs (which can be used to probeinterior structure); monitoring of the photometric variability of early type supergiants (whoseluminosities correlate with photometric variability although the underlying cause is not known);continued monitoring of magnetic chemically peculiar stars (for changes in the rotation rates,surface activity, etc.); and ongoing photometry of some 15 solar analogs (determining rotation rates,surface activity, variability, etc., to better understand the past and future activity of our Sun).These projects include significant involvement of undergraduate students in all aspects of this work,including data collection, analysis, and dissemination in journals and professional meetings. Thedata collected here will also be used in local programs for pre-college students and in teachertraining activities.

AST-0507551ROBERT DUKESCOLLEGE的CHALLESTONCOLLABORATITY建议：RUI：一种自动望远镜，用于恒星研究和培养本科生的培训：一系列协作和个人研究计划将在三个主要的少于四个学院的机构中进行四个学院的四个学院中进行，以实施四个学院的四个大学自动特征。亚利桑那州华盛顿营地的Fairborn天文台遗址。示例项目是：频率测定很少研究的主要序列G模型恒星（包括缓慢脉动B恒星和伽玛多拉多斯星星）； Short时期Scuti，Beta Cephei和脉动白矮人（可用于探测结构）的星星遗迹学；监测早期类型超级巨人的光度变异性（尽管尚不清楚，但持续监测磁性化学特殊的恒星（对于旋转速率，表面活性等变化），但仍在监测磁性化学特征性的恒星，但仍在持续监测磁性的原因；以及大约15个太阳能类似物的持续光度法（确定旋转速率，表面活动，可变性等，以更好地了解我们的太阳的过去和未来活动）。这些项目包括本科生在这项工作各个方面的重大参与，包括数据收集，分析，分析和期刊和专业会议。在这里收集的Thedata也将用于大学前学生和教师培训活动的本地计划。
