CCD Photometry of Supernovae at Van Vleck Observatory

9315067 Herbst PI将继续使用货车Vleck天文台的0.6米Perkin反射望远镜和CCD相机来监测超新星爆发。目标是获得高质量的，采样良好的所有超新星的光变曲线，这些超新星足够远，足够明亮。这些数据将有助于确定Ia型超新星的光度均匀程度，确定Ia型和II型超新星的光度参数，并建立各种类型超新星光变曲线的性质和发生频率。本科生将积极参与这个项目。***

9315067 Herbst The PI will continue to use the 0.6 m Perkin reflecting telescope and CCD camera at Van Vleck Observatory to monitor supernova eruptions. The goal is to obtain high quality, well sampled light curves of all the supernovae which are sufficiently far north and sufficiently bright for this instrument. These data will be useful in determining the degree to which type Ia supernovae can be regarded as photometrically homogeneous, determining the photometric parameters of types Ia and II supernovae and establishing the properties and frequency of occurrence of various types of supernovae light curves. Undergraduate students will be heavily involved in this project. ***
