B. LIST OF OTHER PUBLICATIONS

(1) Ghosh T., Eder J.A., Salter C.J., Frierson, D.M., 2000,
"Neutral Hydrogen in Seyfert Galaxies - A Test for the
Unification Scheme", ASP Conference Series; "Gas and Galaxy
Evolution", eds. J.E. Hibbard, M. Rupen, J.H. van Gorkom,
in press.

C. GRADUATE STUDENT:

Jose Fransisco Salgado of the University of Michigan defended his
doctoral thesis, " The Distribution of Galactic Scattering Material
in the Longitude Range 30 - 70 deg" successfully. I have been his
co-supervisor (along with Dr. Chris Salter) for the last three years.
The first four months of the year 2000 was spent mostly working with
him.

D. VISITOR SUPPORT

I have been the assigned to be the "friend of telescope" for four
spectral line projects. In addition, I have conducted one VSOP
absentee observing run (along with Dr. Chris Salter).


E. MEETINGS ATTENDED AND PRESENTATIONS

"Gas and Galaxy Evolution", in May 2000 at Socorro, NM (VLA2000).
Poster presentation.

F. IN-HOUSE PRESENTATION: A 30-min presentation to the AUSAC 2000
describing the Spectrum Management and RFI protection activities
of the Observatory.

G. OTHER THINGS WORTH MENTIONING.

(1) I was invited by the NSF to be a member of the Panel Review
committee for the Coordinated Millimeter VLBI Array (CMVA). This
entailed critically reviewing the project status and its
continued funding by the NSF.

(2) I have been an active member of the Spectrum Management and
RFI Group of the Observatory (since 1996). The group meets
once a month and there are various issues that needs planning,
executing, and monitoring over the year. I have been actively
involved in all aspects of these (too numerous to list here).

(3) I have participated in the general RX-calibration efforts
organised by Carl Heiles. I have been responsible for the
610-MHz and the 430-Gr (along with Ramesh Bhat) RX data
analysis. At the end of the September/October run, it was
felt that these calibrations should be carried out regularly.
I drafted a general proposal for that (with comments and
contribution from all involved people). This has been
approved, and once the post-surface alignment pointing is
performed, will (hopefully) be scheduled regularly.

(4) During the summer of 2000, I have conducted "operators'
training", where I spent ~2 hours per operator (spending
about 16 hours in total over three weeks). I helped
them run the GUI and some simple ANALYZ tasks for basic
spectral line observing.

(5) I have helped planning the present form of the Astronomy
page of our web-site, solicited opinions from all RA members
and coordinated the actual making up of the page with Tony
Acevedo and the members of the Astronomy group.

(6) I have helpped testing the 327-MHz receiver and its
RFI environment.

(7) During the year, I have done extensive observations and data
reduction for five different Astronomy projects as a
co-investigator. These are, A1323, A1354, A1368, A1389, and A1167.
Results of all these will be published in the coming years.
