Hawarden, M.M. Casali, W.S. Holland, R.J. Ivison, G.S Wright (UK ATC) The UK Astronomy Technology Centre is engaged on a number of projects which are defining the stare of the art in several areas of wide-field astronomy. The most advanced of these will equip the UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) with a wide-field NIR (1 - 2.5 um) imager, WFCAM, in 2003. WFCAM will use 4 2k-square HgCdTe arrays to cover 0.19 square degrees in a single exposure. It will have 0."4 pixels and will employ multiple exposures (16 in the basic case) and microstepping to obtain full sampling of the PSF. WFCAM will reach K=19.4 at 5 sigma over 1 sq. deg. in 1 hour. Several deep surveys are planned; details are at http://www.roe.ac.uk/atc/projects/wfcam/science/. The project is in collaboration with the SUBARU telescope of the National Astronomy Observatory of Japan. Major data centres and archives will be established within the UK widefield astronomy groups and at SUBARU. of sky in just 24 hours of observing; indeed it will map large areas of sky up to an order of magnitude faster than ALMA in compact mode; it will make major new contributions to all areas of astronomy, from the solar system to Z=10 galaxies.

T. Sullivan, III (U. Washington), S. M. Levin (JPL), E. T. Olsen (JPL) A 40 MHz spectrometer with 2.1 million channels of 20 Hz resolution, originally developed for NASA's High Resolution Microwave Survey, has now been operating for over a year. Besides the full 20 Hz resolution, a user can obtain output from 8000 channels of specified width and center frequency anywhere in the 40 MHz band. The future of this spectrometer at this time is uncertain, but it seems likely that it will be used for a variety of projects in communications and radio astronomy. This talk will cover the capabilities of the spectrometer and some of the possible radio astronomy projects for which it provides unique capabilities. Saturday program listing

Saturn by Valentina and Antonia Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. It is a gas giant, almost as big as Jupiter, with an equatorial diameter of about 120,500km. Saturn is thought to consist of a small core of rock and ice surrounded by an inner metal of liquid hydrogean that acts like metal. Outside the inner mantle is an outer mantle of liquid hydrogean that merges into gas ores atmosphere. Saturn's clouds form belts and zones similar to those on Jupiter, but obscured by overlying haze. Storms and eddies, seen as red or white ovals, occur in the clouds. Saturn has an extremly thin but wide system of rings that is less that one km thick but extends outwards to about 420,000 km from the planet's surface. Saturn's rings were first sighted by the italian sientist Galileo in 1610 through a simple telescope. At first Galileo thought that they were ears but then saw that they were rings DID YOU KNOW STATISTICS SATURN: Diameter: 120,000 km Average distance from Sun: 1.4 billion km Year: 29.5 Earth years

PH224 Astronomy Projects Home Page Information Homework Projects for PH224 Astronomy Spring 2003 General Guidelines You are required to do two projects for this course. Your first project is due in class at 2:10 p.m. on February 3. Your second project is due in class at 2:10 p.m. on March 24. If either project is more than one month late for any reason (including death, sickness, accident, overwork, the unexpected, bad weather, family problems, roommate trouble, car trouble, highway traffic, forgetfulness, laziness, etc.), you will be penalized five percent of the project's value per school day late or fraction thereof. Expect last minute emergencies; plan to submit your projects on February 3 and March 24. Do not plan to turn them in as late as March 3 and April 24. Each of the two projects you choose is worth 125 points, out of 1000 total points in this course. You should plan to spend approximately four to eight hours on each of your two projects. The projects are described in the list below. You must choose two different projects from this list. The only exception to that last rule is that you may choose both your projects from the customized field trip category 7 or the essay category 8. For all projects except Project 1, you must write a report or essay. Each report or essay must be printed by a laser or ink-jet quality printer on standard 8.5 by 11 inch sheets of white paper stapled in the upper left hand corner. The top sheet should be a cover page with the title of your paper, the project's name, your name, course name, and assignment due date. Start the body of your report on the next page. Double space your text, putting about 22 lines of text on one side of each page; leave the other side blank. Use one inch margins on all four sides of your text. Use twelve point Times New Roman type font if available; if it isn't available, use a font which gives approximately the same numbers of characters per line as Times New Roman. (The course syllabus handed out in class was printed in twelve point Times New Roman.) Do not submit your report in a binder or folder.

Look for various colors in the bright stars and planets. Determine the earliest time (vs. sunset time) that you can see the North Star. Observe and count the number of meteors (shooting stars) visible to you. Look for artificial satellites. Try drawing a lunar map each night as the phase changes. Study light pollution in your area and the main causes of it. Visit a planetarium. Binocular and Small Telescope Projects All of the above (except 1, 9 and 10).

Technology to Explore Deep Space Rick Kang 1-97 Scientific Use of Digitaized Data - a sampler Goal: Estimate the distance to galaxy M101 by using simple geometry. Suggestion: Quickly read through the entire exercise so that you have a grasp of the nature of the project. Then come back and work out the details. Method: Use concept of ratio of apparent size to distance to relate galaxy at known distance that displays a particular diameter, to galaxy at UNKNOWN distance that displays a different diameter. Tools: Digitized images of known and unknown galaxies (images must be of same scale - we furnish several images here), ruler, calculator, pencil and paper. (Use image analysis software if you wish to download the images, enhance contrast, and count actual pixels.) Astronomy Background: Galaxies are pancake or football-like volumes in space that possess huge gravitational fields, hence collect lots of matter, including hydrogen gas, one of the early building blocks of our known Universe. Over time, much of this gas becomes stars, the stars cook up all the chemical elements of our Periodic Table, and use these elements to produce lots of planets and who knows how many intelligent life forms who may be going through this same exercise at this very moment.

Matthew's Astronomy Projects Deep Rock Observatory Deep Rock Observatory draws its name not only from the road that I live on, but also from my keen interest in asteroids, comets, and meteors. The observatory currently consists of a circular patch of sand about 5 meters in diameter from which to do visual observations. First Light I took first light from the observatory during the Perseid meteor shower on August 12, 2000 and the collected data was submitted to the International Meteor Organization for inclusion in their Visual Meteor Database. Near the beginning of morning twilight, the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) kicked off just above my northern horizon! Not unheard of, but certainly rare in Oklahoma! I take that as a very favorable omen as to the amazing things yet to be seen from this observatory. Radio Meteor Detection I am currently developing an automated meteor detection system. The system detects the meteors by using the brief reflection their trail provides of distant VHF radio transmitters (the lower TV channels along with FM radio are good examples of such transmissions). With limited funds, I have had to learn to "roll my own" on this project. All of the equipment will be either donated, homebuilt from a kit, or made from scratch. Details will follow... Asteroid Discovery In addition to the meteor studies at Deep Rock Observatory, I've also helped discover a few asteroids which, unlike the meteors described above, are orbiting safely beyond our atmosphere. These asteroids were discovered at the
