Operation of the University of Hawaii 2.2M Telescope on Mauna Kea

Abstract

During this period the operation of the University of Hawaii's 2.2M telescope was partially funded by this grant. The original term of this grant was one year. Most of the grant funds were expended during this year. Subsequently a one year extension was approved. Over the resulting 2 year period, this grant provided approximately 6% of the operating budget of the telescope. The fraction of observing time devoted to studies of solar system objects (e.g., planets, planetary satellites, asteroids, and comets) was approximately 26%.
