Doug Rabin Tenured (1Sep92)
(from the Director's Office, NOAO Newsletter No. 31, 1 September 1992)

It is a pleasure to announce that at its teleconference on 13 July
1992, the AURA Executive Committee approved the Observatory Advisory
Committee's recommendation that Douglas Rabin be granted tenure in
AURA/NOAO. That decision, and the reviews leading up to it, were based
on Rabin's innovative research program in leading the development of
the Solar Near Infrared Magnetograph. The strong wavelength dependence
of Zeeman splitting allows determination of the true magnetic field
strength, and is leading to a new understanding of the distribution of
field within magnetic flux tubes. Rabin was also cited for serving the
needs and concerns of the NSO user community and for his involvement in
the national and international solar astronomy communities through
NASA, LEST, and the IAU Solar Infrared meeting.

Rabin is a valued colleague within NSO and NOAO, and we are pleased at
this recognition of his contribution.
