For centuries, astronomers learned about the sky by studying the light coming from astronomical objects, first by simply looking at the objects, and later.

 A telescope collects light coming off an object, like the moon, planets, and stars.  It focuses the light and magnifies it, making the object appear.

Hart Gillespie Advisors: Jack Gross, Dr. Katrin Schenk Funded by 2013 Randolph College Summer Research Program July 12, 2014 ASTEROID OCCULTATION TIMING AT RANDOLPH COLLEGE

OUTLINE Winfree Observatory Occultation observations Problems with occultation observations Solutions Extension to other undergraduate institutions

WINFREE OBSERVATORY 14” SCT On Randolph College campus Not used for other research

231 VINDOBONA OCCULTATION Clear skies, magnitude 10 star One of only 3 Vindobona occultations observed

OTHER OCCULTATION ATTEMPTS 1679 Nevanlinna Success! 788 Hohensteina 211 Isolda with Steve Conard Numerous others clouded out

PROBLEMS WITH ASTEROID OCCULTATION TIMING Clouds Light pollution Data transfer Poor telescope maintenance

POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Mobile observation capability Camera with HDMI output or SD card slot

EXTENSION TO OTHER COLLEGES? Effective tool for promoting both astronomical research and scientific inquiry Low cost – mobile telescope (Celestron 6-inch SCTs $600-$1200), SCORE box ($500), and camcorder ($200) are all that is necessary Promotes and enables astronomical research at the undergraduate level
