McMath-Pierce Solar-Stellar Program Update (1Jun94)
(from NSO, NOAO Newsletter No. 38, 1 June 1994)

Our nighttime program of high resolution, synoptic spectroscopy, which
now accepts proposals on a semester basis, operates innovative programs
primarily in the area of solar-stellar astrophysics.  However, any
project that utilizes the unique capabilities of the McMath-Pierce
facility can be considered.  Some of the projects which were supported
during the past semester included (by title and PI): "Fluorescent Clues
to the Shock Structure of Late-type Giant Stars" (D. Luttermoser,
CSC/IUE), "Determination of Starspot Parameters of Active Stars" (D.
O'Neal, Penn State), "Surface Imaging of Two Active Stars" (I.
Tuominen, Helsinki), "Short-Term Variability of Luminous K Stars: A
Test of Hydrodynamic Modeling" (M. Cuntz, HAO), "A Search for New
Proto-Planetary System Candidates" (K.-P. Cheng, GSFC), "Mass Motions
in `Naked' T Tauri Stars" (M. Giampapa, NSO), "Ha Variation in (zeta)
Aurigae Binaries and Cool Supergiants" (J. Eaton, Tennessee State), and
"Radial Velocity Observations of a Ori, a Sco, and a Her" (M. Smith,
CSC/IUE).

The proposal deadline for the spring 1995 semester is 15 October 1994.
