During the run on YY Gem in March 1988, two modes of operation of the Tinsley photometer on the 60-cm University of Hawaii telescope on Mauna Kea were used: firstly UBVRI broad-band photometry with a relatively course time resolution of several minutes which was suitable for observation of the eclipses and spot modulation, and secondly, continuous U-band monitoring with a time resolution of approximately 6 seconds which was suitable for observations of flares. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

Next: Rotation Periods of ZAMS stars Previous: T Tauri Stars . ... The first attempts to directly measure periodic modulation of T Tauri stars occurred in the early 1980s. Rydgren & Vrba (1983) observed four PMS stars using photoelectric photometry over a period of seven consecutive photometric nights. ... Because the spot lifetime is much longer than the rotational period, the observed effect will be a modulation of the light from the star synchronously with the rotation period. ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...
