Scientific paper

Thanks to the revolutionary trio of affordable CCD cameras, compact Schmidt- Cassegrain and other go-to telescopes, and highly capable personal computers, smaller observatories have become powerful scientific research facilities. Located in backyards and on college campuses, these observatories are making precise scientific measurements across a broad spectrum: tumbling asteroids, pulsating stars, eclipsing binaries, transiting planets, and sputtering matter as it spirals onto white dwarfs and neutron stars. The amateurs, students, and professors who utilize these observatories have produced a steady stream of high-quality papers, and regularly speak about their results at astronomical conferences.
