Friends,

 

We finally completed a web page with potential projects for your classroom and/or research group. They can be found under:

https://www.aavso.org/student-observation-projects 

Many thanks to Horace Smith, Jerry Samolyk and Neil Simmons who worked hard towards identifying targets and provided the information on the relevant web page. Please don't forget to submit your observations on the AAVSO database - building long-term light curves of all those stars is a precious tool to understand their mechanics. Noone can forsee what they will showcase in 30-40 years of data! 

I am looking forward to seeing the outcome of those projects published in JAAVSO. Happy observing!

Best wishes - clear skies,

Stella.

Nice, Stella!  This is a document that has been needed for a long time.  My congratulations to the triad of volunteers!
