This award funds continuing development and operation of a unique facility, the University of Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner. This device digitizes, at high speed, pairs of plates, such as those of the Palomar Sky Survey, permitting sophisticated func- tions such as astrometry, photometry, and pattern recognition. In the next three years, digitization of the first Palomar Sky survey will be completed and made available, on line, to the astronomical community, and work will be started on the second Palomar survey, providing important comparison data.

该奖项资助持续开发和运营一个独特的 明尼苏达大学自动平板扫描仪（University of Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner） 该设备高速数字化成对的印版，例如 ”““帕洛玛天空调查，允许复杂的功能， 例如天体测量、光度测量和模式识别。 在接下来的三年里，第一个帕洛玛天空的数字化 将完成调查，并在线提供给 天文社区，工作将于第二天开始 Palomar调查，提供重要的对比数据。
