Lizard Hollow Observatory
Tucson, AZ USA
Research interests at LHO
are in
binary and multiple stars, poorly-studied variable stars,
Be and Be-like stars, and in early-type spectroscopic binaries.
LHO's telescope is the 28-cm Beardsley Memorial SCT, which is equipped
with an SBIG ST7-E CCD camera that is used for UBVRCIC photometry.
We expect to begin
remotely-controlled operations in Spring 2008.
On-going, collaborative projects were undertaken, during 2006, with astronomers
at the
Tien-Shan
Observatory in Kazakhstan and at the
US Naval Observatory/Flagstaff Station.
We have also been privileged to use the 0.9-m coudé feed spectrograph at the
Kitt Peak National Observatory
and the 0.81-m RCT CCD camera at
Tenagra
Observatories to complement the Be-star observations made here.
