    Extractions: The Lowell Observatory Public Astronomical Research Center (LOPARC) is an Internet observatory that allows users to access a research-grade telescope, an online digital archive of astronomical images, and server-side software that many professional astronomers use in their research. Online activities are available at a variety of conceptual levels, allowing anyone from primary school students to adults to use the facility with appropriate content. Two versions of the user interface allow clients to be deployed for general home or private-venue access, as well as in a more restricted point-and-click mode in public venues such as museums and public libraries. The facility is currently open in its initial public release at Lowell Observatory's campus in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is slated for full Internet availability by September, 2003. Introduction Conclusion The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a 108-year old, private, non-profit institution dedicated to astronomical research and education. The 22 astronomers on our science staff are leaders in their areas of specialization, while our education and outreach program brings some 70,000 visitors each year to our campus. Our 6,500 square-foot Steele Visitor Center is open 360 days per year, and has a large exhibit hall and auditorium that serves as the focal point of our programs. On our campus are two telescopes dedicated to public education: the historic 24" Alvan Clark refractor, used by Percival Lowell a century ago to map features on the surface of Mars, and the 16" reflecting telescope of the John Vickers McAllister Public Observatory, installed in 1996 about 100 feet south of the Clark telescope dome.

    Extractions: a new NASA University Research Center mdiaz@utb.edu On January 1st 2003, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) created at The University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB) the Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy (CGWA) as part of its University Research Center (URC) program. As described by NASA, the University Research Centers program is designed to achieve a broad-based, competitive aerospace research capability among the nation's Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) of Higher Education. These centers will foster new aerospace science and technology concepts; expand the nation's base for aerospace research and development; develop mechanisms for increased participation by faculty and students of MSI in mainstream research; and increase the production of socially- and economically-disadvantaged students (who are U.S. citizens and who have historically been underrepresented) with advanced degrees in NASA-related fields. This particular center will develop excellence in research and education in areas related to the new astronomy which will become technically feasible within the next five to ten years gravitational wave astronomy The CGWA will focus on three major research areas: gravitational wave data analysis, gravitational wave source modeling, and phenomenological astrophysics of supermassive black holes. The proposed research is relevant to the NASA Space Science Enterprise of charting the evolution of the universe and understanding its galaxies, stars, and their dynamics and evolution. In particular, we expect the center to make important contributions to LISA, a joint NASA-ESA mission with a projected launch date of 2011. LISA consists of three identical spacecraft located in an equilateral triangle

    Extractions: Research Reports No. 102 Autumn 2000 Table of Contents Research Reports list of online issues Largest donation ever. New moon discovered. Using data taken by the University of Arizona’s Spacewatch program, a team from the Minor Planet Center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., determined that Jupiter has 17 satellites, one more than previously thought. After poring over data with a new software program, the Smithsonian team first thought the object might be a comet. However, upon further examination, the researchers noted that its trajectory put it right around our solar system’s biggest planet. This is the first Jovian moon discovered since 1979, when the Voyager spacecraft orbited Jupiter and spied three new satellites. Carbon dioxide and animal behavior. Mary Beth Voltura, a Smithsonian fellow, hopes to utilize the resources and staff of a couple of Smithsonian research centers to find out if elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere impair reproduction of certain animals through induced protein deficiency. Working closely with Olav Oftedal, a nutritionist at the National Zoological Park, and Bert Drake, a plant physiologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Voltura is investigating how the foraging behavior and reproductive performance of the common vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus , can serve as an early indicator of nutrient shortages for animals that graze on plants.

    Extractions: A tradition of research Some readers of this special issue devoted to the Chandra X-ray Observatory may be surprised to discover the central role of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., in the development of this spacecraft and in the history of X-ray astronomy. Other readers may be just as surprised to discover that the Institution even has an "observatory," especially one making observations across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, using a variety of Earth- and space-based instruments. In addition to X-ray astronomy, researchers at SAO conduct experiments in laboratory astrophysics, studies in geophysics and earth sciences, and research in science education. In fact, the Smithsonian has had an observatory since 1890, when the Institution’s third secretary, Samuel Pierpont Langley, founded SAO to study what he called "the new astronomy." He was referring to what we now know as astrophysics, a then-revolutionary notion that one might study the physical nature of astronomical bodies, as well as their positions and motions. But SAO is not alone among Smithsonian research centers in its pursuit of knowledge or in its prominence in the international scientific community. The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama is a world leader in tropical biology, geology and anthropology. Field biologists come each year to STRI’s natural "laboratory" on Barro Colorado Island to study the complex and delicate ecosystems of the rain forest, while marine scientists pursue research at stations on Panama’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
