Astronomy
The UND Observatory primarily supports broadband photometric research projects for asteroids, variable stars, and exoplanets, as well as stellar visible-λ spectroscopic research. In addition, the observatory has full functionality to conduct LRGB and narrowband imaging. Long-term, institutional efforts to obtain, define, and characterize Main Belt and near-Earth asteroids via astrometry and photometry complements observations of these bodies by national observatories. The other primary goal of the UND Observatory is to support MS students with their individual research projects.
