0755646KanburThis proposal is to develop a research and training program for undergraduate students at SUNY College at Oswego in collaboration with Dr. Antonio Kanaan in the Physics department at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil and the Brazilian National Observatory (LNA). Students will be involved in projects to develop a fully functional robotic telescope, situated at LNA, open for use by the Brazilian scientific community. Student projects will then use the telescope to augment existing Galactic and Magellanic Cloud Cepheid data in the optical BVIR bands, and study other time-variable astronomical phenomena such as white dwarfs and fast rotating Ap stars.

0755646 Kanbur这项提议是与巴西圣卡塔琳娜联邦大学(UFSC)物理系的Antonio Kanaan博士和巴西国家天文台(LNA)合作，为奥斯威戈纽约州立大学学院的本科生制定一个研究和培训计划。学生们将参与开发全功能机器人望远镜的项目，该望远镜位于LNA，向巴西科学界开放使用。学生项目随后将使用该望远镜增强现有的银河系和麦哲伦星云造父变星的光学BVIR波段数据，并研究其他时变天文现象，如白矮星和快速旋转的AP恒星。
