Castelaz 9500756 This award is made under the auspices of the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program. As a CAREER awardee the investigator is expected to pursue an active education plan in addition to his scientific research project. This research project will establish a program of frequent spectroscopic and photometric observations of long-period, Mira-type variables. The observations will provide substantial data needed to understand the relationship between their spectra and light curves. It will search for Mira variables with companions, important for estimating the absolute magnitudes of the variable stars. The education component covered by this award includes incorporation of more research methodology into the undergraduate introductory astronomy class, development of an observational astronomy laboratory-type class and a physics senior major project related to the research project on Mira variables.

卡斯特拉斯 9500756这个奖项是在NSF教师早期职业发展（CAREER）计划的主持下。 作为一个职业获奖者，研究者除了他的科学研究项目外，还应该追求积极的教育计划。 该研究项目将建立一个对长周期Mira型变星进行频繁光谱和光度观测的方案。 这些观测将提供了解它们的光谱和光变曲线之间关系所需的大量数据。 它将搜索Mira变量和同伴，这对估计绝对值很重要。 变星的星等 该奖项涵盖的教育部分包括将更多的研究方法纳入本科天文学入门课程，开发观测天文学实验室类型的课程和与Mira变量研究项目相关的物理学高级主要项目。
