GSU/NAU PRIORITY 2
------------------
TITLE CTIOPI White Dwarfs
ID # GSTU53
PI Todd Henry (GSU)
CONTACT thenry@chara.gsu.edu, 404-463-9954
TELESCOPE + INSTRUMENT 1.3m + ANDICAM
MODE (service or user) service
TIME not much! (maybe 4 hours equivalent)
TRAINING RUN N/A

INTERPOLATED PROGRAMS N/A
PREFERRED DATES none
ACCEPTABLE DATES any
ACCEPTABLE MOON any
CADENCE per star: one visit on any five different nights
per filter pair: 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec for 3 ROUNDS (135 sec total integration)
FILTERS always: first V/K, then R/H, then I/J

STANDARDS none, differential photometry only
SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION Differential photometry of two binary pairs to get JHK magnitude differences.
We'll probably need help getting the exposures right!

ID # GSTU51
PI Dick Miller (GSU)
CONTACT miller@chara.gsu.edu, 404-651-1368
TELESCOPE + INSTRUMENT 1.3m + ANDICAM

# OBJECTS 4
STANDARDS none, differential photometry only
SCIENTIFIC DESCRIPTION Continuing monitoring effort of variable blazars. Cadence of one set
of observations every 3 days works well.
