$7,500 Granted For KU Study Of Solar Objects
Dr. Henry G. Horak, assistant professor of astronomy, has received a $7,500 grant from the National Science Foundation in Washington, to make photometric studies of objects in the solar sysm.
The grant covers a period of two years.
The grant will be used to build a photoelectric photometer for KU's 27-inch reflector telescope.
With the new equipment, Dr. Horak will study the composition of the planets and their atmospheres. He is particularly interested in Venus because knowledge of that planet is so meager.
Robert Lee Talley, a senior at KU majoring in astronomy, will work with Dr. Horak on a half-time assistantship provided by the grant.
Equipped with the photometer, the telescope can make precise observations on the amount of light from comets planets and other heaviest bodies.
Dr. Horak pointed out that there is a lack of adequate information about photometric properties of objects in the solar system (that is, in the system of which our sun is the center), because observers have concentrated more heavily on variable stars.
