The N.G.C. Telescope Instrumentation Improvement Project

9351550 Jones学院为学院的博勒·奇文斯16英寸研究级卡塞格林望远镜购置了新的天文仪器，供本科生进行教学和研究。一台来自光度学的Star I CCD（电荷耦合器件）、一台IBM-XT控制计算机和软件、一台用于恒星光度学的宽带滤光片组（UBVRI）和滤光轮，以及一台用于天文光谱学的光谱仪正在使用中。一项面向观测天文学课程的高级项目正在使用这一设备和一个现有的太阳工作站网络，其中包括IRAF数据简化包。观测课程的部分目标是提供观测数据，以便整合到入门天文学实验室中。介绍天文学的学生有机会看到如何在望远镜上获得这些观测结果，提高实验室使用当地获得的数据的教育价值。公众也有机会在公众观星之夜看到现代观测技术的演示。最后，这些设备正在用于学生研究，并且有可能与其他拥有类似设备的学校联合开展项目。＊＊＊

9351550 Jones The College has acquired new astronomical instrumentation for the school's Boller & Chivens 16" research grade cassegrain telescope to be used by the undergraduate students for instruction and research. A Star I CCD (Charge Coupled Device) from Photometrics along with an IBM-XT controlling computer and software, a wide-band filter set (UBVRI) and filter wheel for stellar photometry, and a spectrograph for astronomical spectroscopy are being used. An upper division project oriented observational astronomy course is being implemented using this equipment and an existing SUN workstation network with the IRAF data reduction package. A partial objective of the observational course is to supply observational data for integration into the introductory astronomy labs. The introductory astronomy students have the opportunity to see how these observations are obtained at the telescope, enhancing the educational value of the labs which use the locally obtained data. The general public also has the chance to see modern observing techniques demonstrated on public viewing nights. Finally, the equipment is being used in student research, and there is the possibility of joint projects with other schools with similar facilities. ***
