Abstract Terzian Cornell University will continue the Observational Astronomy Program established in the Summer of 1989, in which undergraduate students are involved in the research activities of the astronomy group at Cornell University. The undergraduate students will work with members of the Cornell faculty and research staff on a variety of projects, including optical, infrared, and radio/radar astronomy, and other related topics. The students' research at Cornell will provide them the opportunity to participate in astronomical observations at facilities used by Cornell researchers, such as the Palomar Observatory and National Astronomy Centers. The students will be encouraged to participate in the Undergraduate Research Forum at Cornell and to present and discuss their various research projects with other students who are at Cornell in the summer. The Undergraduate Research in Observational Astronomy program will continue to encourage the participation of students who are women or underrepresented groups and whose own institutions do not provide this kind of research experience. Special efforts will be made to facilitate the logistical aspects of the student participants, such as housing and cultural activities.

抽象Terzian 康奈尔大学将继续1989年夏天建立的观测天文学计划，其中本科生参与康奈尔大学天文学小组的研究活动。 本科生将与康奈尔大学的教职员工和研究人员合作开展各种项目，包括光学，红外和无线电/雷达天文学以及其他相关主题。 学生在康奈尔大学的研究将为他们提供机会，在康奈尔大学研究人员使用的设施，如帕洛玛天文台和国家天文中心参与天文观测。 学生将被鼓励参加在康奈尔大学的本科研究论坛，并提出和讨论他们的各种研究项目与谁是在康奈尔大学的其他学生在夏天。 观测天文学本科生研究方案将继续鼓励妇女或代表性不足的群体以及自己的机构不提供这种研究经验的学生参与。 将作出特别努力，为学生参与者的后勤方面提供便利，如住房和文化活动。
