The Stellar Oscillations Network Group at NOAO will monitor the star Procyon
with the Coudé Feed Telescope on Kitt Peak to search for p-mode oscillations
using the equivalent width technique. Weather permitting, observations will
commence on 10 January 1997, and will continue for five weeks. Spectra will
cover the region from 3800-5300Å, at a reciprocal dispersion of 0.4Å/pixel.
Primary emphasis will be on the measurement of the equivalent widths of
H, H, and H for asteroseismology.
As we write this, we are in the process of setting up protocols for calibrations, observations, and data reductions. As information becomes available, we will post it to our web pages, accessible via the NOAO home page at http://www.noao.edu.
Tim Bedding and his collaborators have obtained 12 nights at Mt. Stromlo at the end of January to participate in the Procyon campaign, and we have received expressions of interest from a few other observatories as well. Both Doppler velocity data and equivalent width data are needed.
If you are interested in participating in this campaign, please contact one of us at NOAO (S. Barden, M. Giampapa, J. Harvey, F. Hill, C. Keller, or C. Pilachowski) or send email to song@noao.edu for details.
