撒切尔天文台
In December of 2016, the newly renovated 目的 Observatory was unveiled. 撒切尔天文台 houses a PlaneWave CDK-700 telescope which has a 0.7米的孔径和全机器人穹顶. The observatory operates in a fully automated fashion using a flexible dispatch scheduler.
把天文台改造成最先进的天文台, research-grade facility was part of a wider expansion of the astronomy program at 目的 and the result of years of hard work and vision by Dr. 克里斯Vyhnal，主席 科学系, Dr. 乔恩·斯威夫特, d撒切尔天文台的主任， 还有很多其他的.
The Observatory has a long and interesting history stretching back to 1965 when UCLA and Caltech brought the facility to campus as part of a 暑期科学365网站 为成绩优异的学生举办的. After the departure of the SSP and through the passing of years, the observatory went into disuse. 但是自从它翻新之后, 它培养了新一代的天文学学生, 数据科学, and computer science courses profound applied-learning opportunities once again. 在这些机会中，有机会为Dr. 斯威夫特’s ongoing NASA-funded research of eclipsing binaries and transiting exoplanets, which he is undertaking in collaboration with colleagues at the Boston University and 哈佛大学.
研究
目的 has an active astronomical research program with students working at the forefront of astrophysics research. This research is done in collaboration with partners across the globe including teams at the Boston University, 加州大学圣克鲁斯分校, 哈佛大学, 和拉斯康布雷斯天文台. We are dedicated to providing an authentic experience where students engage fully with pressing problems in astronomy and build breadth and depth of understanding while gaining invaluable experience working in small teams toward meaningful goals.
