Abstract - Hawley AST 9973515A significant fraction of public and private astronomy resources are now committed to large survey projects, and this trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Past survey databases, such as the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) and the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) surveys, have been invaluable for selecting samples for future investigation. Current and future databases will also provide a unique opportunity to address important scientific problems without requiring scarce resources such as large telescope time. The independent researcher who is willing to spend the time and effort to understand the database, and the process of accessing it, can carry out "observing runs" at the computer, mining the database for most or all of the data needed to carry out the project. One result from the activities of the project will be to understand the best ways to access databases for efficient and accurate retrieval of data. There will also be scientific results from research projects on magnetic activity in M dwarf stars and the galactic structure and star formation history of the solar neighborhood. These research activities will be a testbed for database mining.This award is supported by funds from the Division of Astronomical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

摘要-霍利 AST 9973515公共和私人天文学资源的很大一部分现在致力于大型调查项目，这种趋势在可预见的未来可能会继续下去。过去的调查数据库，如帕洛玛天文台巡天（POSS）和红外天文卫星（IRAS）调查，对于选择未来调查的样本非常宝贵。 目前和未来的数据库还将提供一个独特的机会，解决重要的科学问题，而不需要稀缺的资源，如大型望远镜的时间。愿意花时间和精力了解数据库的独立研究人员，以及访问它的过程，可以在计算机上进行“观察运行”，挖掘数据库中的大部分或所有数据，以执行项目。该项目活动的一个成果是了解访问数据库的最佳方式，以便有效和准确地检索数据。 还将有M矮星磁活动和太阳附近星系结构和星星形成历史研究项目的科学成果。 这些研究活动将成为数据库挖掘的试验平台，该奖项由天文科学处和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室提供资金支持。
