Coordinated Synoptic Observations of Comet Hale-Bopp from the Kitt Peak and Pine Bluff Observatories

Scherb博士威斯康辛大学的Frank Scherb和Fred Roesler将对海尔-波普彗星进行全面的观测。海尔-波普被认为是一个机会的目标，可以集中一系列的观测和分析工作，以了解彗星的组成和结构。这些研究人员将在亚利桑那州基特峰的WIYN望远镜和威斯康星州麦迪逊附近的派恩布拉夫天文台使用新增加的设备和仪器。该奖项由美国国家科学基金会数学和物理科学理事会天文科学部和多学科活动办公室联合支持。=======================

AST-9615625 Scherb Drs. Frank Scherb and Fred Roesler at the University of Wisconsin will carry out a comprehensive program of observations on comet Hale-Bopp. Hale-Bopp is viewed as a target of opportunity to focus an array of observational and analysis efforts on understanding the composition and structure of comets. These investigators will use newly augmented facilities and instruments at the WIYN telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona and at the Pine Bluff Observatory near Madison, Wisconsin. This award is supported jointly by the Division of Astronomical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at NSF. =======================
