Support is being provided to purchase a new Charge Coupled Device detector system for Ritter Observatory with a large format (770 x 1152 pixels) chip and enhanced blue sensitivity. This detector will be used with an existing echelle spectrograph to provide four times the wavelength coverage (with equal integration time) possible with the present CCD, and would permit observations at shorter wavelengths than is presently possible. Presently 3-4 faculty members, 4-6 M.S. and Ph.D. level graduate students, and 6-8 undergraduate Physics majors are involved with observing projects with the Ritter telescope. A large-format CCD will enhance research opportunities in the areas such as early-type stellar atmospheres, interstellar material, and stellar chromospheres. Due to prior purchased of similar CCD system, many components (computer, software, image display) need not be duplicated. This award is being matched by the University of Toledo.

正在为里特天文台购买新的电荷耦合器件探测器系统提供支持，该系统具有大尺寸（770 x 1152 像素）芯片和增强的蓝色灵敏度。 该探测器将与现有的中阶梯光栅摄谱仪一起使用，以提供现有 CCD 可能的四倍波长覆盖范围（具有相同的积分时间），并且允许在比目前可能的波长更短的波长下进行观察。 目前有3-4名教职人员，4-6名硕士。和博士学位。级研究生和 6-8 名物理学专业的本科生参与了 Ritter 望远镜的观测项目。 大画幅 CCD 将增加早期恒星大气、星际物质和恒星色球层等领域的研究机会。 由于预先购买了类似的CCD系统，许多组件（计算机、软件、图像显示器）不需要重复。 该奖项由托莱多大学颁发。
