The Institute for Astronomy (IfA) is the astronomical research organization
of the University of Hawaii (UH). Its headquarters is located in
Honolulu on the island of Oahu near the University of Hawaii at Manoa,
the main UH campus. It also maintains offices in Waiakoa on the island
of Maui and in Hilo on the island of Hawaii. The IfA is responsible
for administering and maintaining the infrastructure for the Haleakala
High Altitude Observatory Site on Maui and for Mauna Kea Observatories
(MKO) on Hawaii.

The telescopes in operation during the report period were the
UH 2.2-m and 0.6-m telescopes; the 3-m NASA Infrared Telescope
Facility (IRTF), operated by the UH under a contract with NASA;
the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), operated by the
Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corporation on behalf of the National
Research Council of Canada, the Centre National de la Recherche
Scientifique of France, and UH; the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared
Telescope (UKIRT), operated in Hawaii by the Joint Astronomy Centre
(JAC) based in Hilo on behalf of the Particle Physics and Astronomy
Research Council of the United Kingdom; the 15-m James Clerk Maxwell
Telescope (JCMT), a submillimeter telescope operated by the JAC
on behalf of the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Netherlands; the
10.4-m Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO), operated by the
California Institute of Technology for the National Science Foundation
(NSF); the Hawaii antenna of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA),
operated by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO); the
10-m Keck I and Keck II telescopes of the W. M. Keck Observatory,
which is operated by the California Association for Research in
Astronomy for the use of astronomers from the California Institute
of Technology, the University of California system, NASA, and UH;
the 8.3-m Subaru Telescope, operated by the National Astronomical
Observatory of Japan (NAOJ); and the 8.1-m Gemini North Telescope,
built by an international partnership and managed by the Association
of Universities for Research in Astronomy. At the Submillimeter
Array (SMA), installation and commissioning of the eight 6-m antennas
continued. The SMA is a collaborative project of the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory and the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics
of the Academia Sinica of Taiwan.
The past year has seen the implementation of the new management
structure for the Mauna Kea Science Reserve, as called for in the
Master Plan adopted by UH in June 2000. The Office of Mauna Kea
Management (OMKM) has been established at the University of Hawaii-Hilo
with a four-person interim staff. Since March, the OMKM has been
located in the IfA Hilo Facility (see Sec. 3.2). In August
2001, Bill Stormont was appointed permanent director of the OMKM,
and he was to begin serving in that capacity in October 2001. For
the past ten years, Stormont has managed the State's Natural Area
Reserve System on the Island of Hawaii. Also established is the
Mauna Kea Management Board, representing the various stakeholder
constituencies. This seven-person board meets at least once a month
and provides oversight for all activities within the Science Reserve.
The Board provides policy advice to OMKM and serves as the interface
between UH and the community. The third component of the management
structure is Kahu Ku Mauna, a council of Hawaiian elders that provides
advice on Hawaiian cultural matters.
Much of the effort during this first year was devoted to organizational
matters. Other accomplishments include publishing a quarterly newsletter,
``Ho`opono Mauna Kea''; creating a ranger/guide program on the
mountain to provide advice to visitors and to monitor activities;
closing the access road up the Poliahu cinder cone (a sacred Hawaiian
site) to vehicular traffic; and establishing a design review process
for new projects and starting this process for the Keck Outrigger
Telescopes Project.
The 35,000-square-foot (3,300-m2) IfA Hilo Facility,
completed in the fall of 2000, provides a state-of-the-art operations
base for the IfA's activities on Mauna Kea, plus expansion space
for our research, instrumentation, teaching, and outreach programs.
The IfA Hilo Facility is now fully operation, with 32 IfA employees
based there, including 15 from IRTF. The building also houses 3
UH Hilo astronomers, OMKM, the nascent Mauna Kea Astronomy Education
Center, and several other UH Hilo programs.
Mees Solar Observatory supports IfA solar scientists in data
acquisition by running diverse observational programs with its
telescope cluster. The observatory regularly co-observes with the
satellites Yohkoh, Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO ),
and Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE ),
and also participates in special satellite and ground-based observatory
campaigns. One of the unique observational capabilities at Mees
is the ability to perform measurements of the temporal evolution
of photospheric vector magnetic fields. The observatory's complement
of instruments includes the Imaging Vector Magnetograph (IVM),
Haleakala Stokes Polarimeter, Mees CCD Imaging Spectrograph (MCCD),
Mees White Light Telescope, and Coronal Limb Imagers.
Active instrumentation projects include adding rapid wavelength
selection to the IVM to permit sequential photospheric and chromospheric
magnetic observations, and a new CCD camera and data system for
the MCCD for high-speed spectral imaging in collaboration with
the upcoming High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (HESSI ),
a Small Explorer Program (SMEX) mission.
LURE is a satellite laser ranging (SLR) observatory. LURE utilizes
a high-powered pulsed laser to obtain distance measurements to
satellites in Earth orbit. LURE is funded by the Space Geodesy
Networks and Sensor Calibration Office of NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center. The missions of the target satellites include monitoring
of Earth resources and climate parameters, measurements of ocean
levels and temperatures, plate tectonics, the improvement of the
Global Positioning System (GPS), as well as special missions related
to the physics of tethered satellite systems. LURE provides range
data to NASA 7 days a week, and improvements to the computer system
and to the operational procedures will soon allow LURE to operate
on a 24-hour schedule.
Haleakala Observatories is under contract to the Air Force Research
Laboratories to conduct a research program known as the AEOS-Haleakala
Atmospheric Characterization (AHAC). This program supports the
U.S. Air Force Advanced Electro-Optical System (AEOS) Telescope
on Haleakala by providing comprehensive atmospheric characterization
and timely prediction of inclement weather conditions at the observatory
site. The instrument suite that supports these site measurements
includes a daytime/nighttime optical seeing monitor and a network
of remote meteorological systems linked by radio modems. The optical
seeing monitor captures star image data at high frame rates and
uses a differential image motion technique to allow the computation
of seeing statistics over intervals of a few seconds. Data from
the remote meteorology stations are processed using an artificial
intelligence program to generate locally specific predictions of
adverse weather events on a time horizon of 30 minutes.
The 2-m Multicolor Active Galactic Nuclei Monitoring (MAGNUM)
Telescope is dedicated to studying the variation of light from
active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The project is a collaboration between
the University of Tokyo and UH. The main scientific objective of
MAGNUM is to measure distances to AGNs and quasars up to z = 1.
The telescope is designed to be operated remotely and to conduct
observations autonomously. For more information, see the
MAGNUM Web page.
The Solar-C instrument is a 0.5-m off-axis coronagraphic reflecting
telescope adjacent to the Mees Solar Observatory. It had its first
light in August 2001. This instrument (1) allows coronal observations
that have not been realized, even from space, (2) develops technology
that IfA scientists believe will be used for future satellite observations,
and (3) supports several long-term coronal observing platforms that
extend intermittent coronal space observations. Unlike most telescopes,
light strikes the Solar-C mirrors off axis, at an angle to their
surfaces. No light is blocked, reflected, scattered, or diffracted
by the mirrors or their support structure aside from the superpolished
optical surfaces.
The visible arm of the AEOS spectrometer is now working and saw
its first research program in a worldwide campaign to study the
spectral signature of M dwarf flare stars. The infrared arm of
the echelle has been cold-tested and will be assembled on the summit
of Haleakala by the end of 2001.
The UH/IfA adaptive optics system, H¯ok¯upa`a, continued
to be used as a visitor instrument on the Gemini North telescope.
It is available to the entire Gemini community. Work on a new curvature-sensing
AO system, similar to H¯ok¯upa`a but with 85 actuators
instead of 36, continued at the IfA. The intention now is to mount
this new system on Gemini South toward the end of 2002 or beginning
of 2003.
New MIT Lincoln Labs CCDs have been obtained to replace the detectors
currently used in the UH 8K mosaic camera. The new devices will
improve the quantum efficiency over most of the spectral range
by a factor of between 2 and 3, with much better cosmetic quality.
Heasley was appointed outreach coordinator. He initiated the publication
of monthly star charts and a quarterly newsletter to be sent to members
of the Friends of Hawaii Astronomy and other interested parties.
Open houses for the general public were held at the Manoa and Hilo
facilities, and included lectures, tours, and displays.
The summer of 2001 marked the third year of support under a five-year
NSF grant for the TOPS (Toward Other Planetary Systems) teacher
enhancement program. Originally developed by Meech as a one-week
program in 1993, the workshops are now three weeks of intensive
astronomy training for teachers and high school students. This
year 26 teachers and 20 students participated in the workshop.
TOPS emphasizes incorporating astronomy into physics, math, chemistry,
biology, and earth sciences classes. Teachers are introduced to
classroom tools, techniques, and activities they can employ in
their own classes. Computer skills development and student assessment
and evaluation techniques are also emphasized.
The teachers and students participate in a wide variety of hands-on
activities ranging from archeoastronomy to grinding telescope mirrors.
Every clear night during the program, they engage in observing
projects that use small telescopes. Their observing projects vary
from simple visual observations of the moon, planets, and nebulae
to deep-sky astrophotography to sophisticated variable star observations
using a CCD camera. One of the highlights of the workshop is a
tour of Mauna Kea Observatories.
IfA faculty members are frequent lecturers for the TOPS program.
This year, Heasley, Joseph, Kudritzki, Kuhn, LaBonte, Lin, and
Tokunaga made presentations to the TOPS teachers. TOPS also benefits
from a core of volunteers from the Bishop Museum (Honolulu) and
the Hawaiian Astronomical Society.
Support for the TOPS workshops also comes from private donations
and in-kind support from NASA. For the second year in a row, three
staff members from the Astrobiology Institute at NASA Ames Research
Center worked, at NASA's expense, with the TOPS teachers and students.
Gretchen Walker (University of Maryland), the outreach coordinator
for NASA's ``Deep Impact" mission to Comet/P Temple 2, worked with
the teachers on demonstrations of cratering processes. The NASA
IRTF also provided support.
Another long-standing supporter of TOPS is Janet Mattei, the director
of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO).
She spends two weeks each summer with the TOPS teachers and students
to lecture on variable stars, to introduce them to the Hands On
Astrophysics exercises AAVSO has developed, and to assist with
observing projects.
The IfA and the Faulkes Telescope Corporation are collaborating
to locate a 2-m telescope facility at the University's Haleakala
High Altitude Observatory site on Maui. The telescope's construction
will be financed by the Dill Faulkes Educational Trust of the United
Kingdom (UK) and will be named in honor of Dr. Martin ``Dill" Faulkes,
the founder of the trust.
On September 7, 2001, the UH Board of Regents approved the Operating & Site
Development Agreement for the Faulkes Telescope Project and the
lease for the telescope site. On September 14, the State of Hawaii
Board of Land and Natural Resources approved the IfA's Conservation
District Use Application to place the Faulkes Telescope on Haleakala.
With the achievement of these two milestones, the site work for
the telescope was scheduled to begin in the fall of 2001. Plans
call for the telescope to be operational in 2002.
The Faulkes Telescope Project will draw on young people's interest
in astronomy to teach them what science is. It will offer students
in the UK and Hawaii hands-on research experience. Students will
conduct research projects under the mentoring of their teachers
and professional astronomers. In Hawaii, access to the telescope
will be available to public and private schools and to the science
programs of the UH system and other local colleges. The Faulkes
Telescope will be the world's largest dedicated to K-12 and undergraduate
education, and outreach. It will be operated remotely from control
centers in the UK and on Maui.
The first instrument to be installed will be a state-of-the-art
electronic camera with 4 million pixels. Later, funds will be sought
to add an infrared camera to allow operation of the telescope during
daylight hours.
Heasley is the IfA project scientist for Faulkes Telescope Project.
6.3 Research Experiences
for Undergraduates and
Teachers
Two new outreach programs at the IfA, Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experiences for Teachers (RET),
began in the summer of 2001. The REU program is supported by a
five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The
NSF is also providing supplementary funds for the RET program.
Heasley is the principal investigator, and Meech is the co-investigator.
The REU students spent 10-12 weeks as full-time research assistants
to a faculty mentor. The students received travel money and a stipend
to cover living expenses.
The two teachers in the RET program were both former participants
in the TOPS Teacher Enhancement workshops. They worked with Meech
and Heasley on the analysis of observations of Kuiper Belt objects
obtained at the UH 2.2-m telescope and participated in this ongoing
observing program. The purpose of this project is to begin developing
a science curriculum that will use observations taken with the
Faulkes Telescope. Since the UH telescope is about the same size
as the Faulkes Telescope, the observations are approximately equivalent.
The REU and RET programs received additional support from Sun
Microsystems, which loaned the IfA a Sunray server and eight workstation
displays for participants' use.
