| dc.description.abstract | Carbon stars are luminous red giants of the asymptotic giant branch. They are variable, meaning their magnitudes can change back and forth over periods of time. Carbon stars have been observed to change by many magnitudes in periods of over hundreds of days. The aim of this project is to observe at least four carbon stars, V Ari, R CMi, SY Eri, and V Hya and determine if their magnitudes change in a period of one to two hours. This is continuation of the project done by Eric Burns and Kira Forster as advised and assisted by Dr. Martha Leake. The telescopes used to observe the selected carbon stars, by courtesy of the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA), are located at Kitt Peak in Arizona, Cerro Tololo in Chile, and La Palma in the Canary Islands, and these telescopes were used remotely from VSU in Valdosta, Georgia. | en_US |
