	WIYN Observatory
		Indiana University is a founding member of the WIYN consortium which designed, constructed, and is now using a modern 3.5-meter telescope at Kitt Peak, about 50 miles southwest of Tucson AZ.
		WIYN is designed so that the telescope produces superior image quality, often as good as 0.5 arc seconds.
		The WIYN 0.9m telescope is located on the same ridge as the WIYN 3.5m telescope at Kitt Peak.

		Called WIYN, this consortium of public and private universities and a national research center was the first of its kind.
		On their last night at WIYN and on Kitt Peak, they thought they'd be taking data all night.
		The dome the WIYN telescope sits in is like a large, round, rotating garage with doors that slide upward and a large slit on the roof that opens up to the sky.

	On Wisconsin
		He is clearly fond of WIYN and has made the control room, with its small kitchen and superb stereo system, a comfortable mountaintop aerie from which to direct the operations of the telescope.
		WIYN and the 4-meter, he notes, are the biggest optical research telescopes on Kitt Peak.
		Although WIYN's current configuration gives astronomers and their students an unprecedented view of the stars from one of the best perches in the continental U.S., the telescope must continually evolve to remain a front-line tool of science.

	Wisconsin astronomers acquire Kitt Peak telescope (Mar 19, 2001)
		The WIYN consortium is a collaboration of UW-Madison, Indiana University, Yale University and the National Optical Astronomical Observatories.
		The telescope acquired by the WIYN consortium is a Kitt Peak workhorse.
		The $503,000 cost of the project is being divided among WIYN consortium members with UW-Madison chipping in $140,000, UW-Oshkosh committing $20,000, and both UW-Stevens Point and UW-Whitewater contributing $28,000 each.

	Star cluster with similarities to sun's composition offers clues on Milky Way's evolution
		Gathered as part of a long-term project called the WIYN Open Cluster Study, the new photometric (brightness) data of NGC 2420 indicate that the cluster lies 35 percent farther from the center of the Milky Way galaxy than does the sun.
		The WIYN consortium assumed operation of the historic 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak in fall 2001 to enable the telescope to serve as a complement to the existing 3.5-meter WIYN telescope on Kitt Peak, and to offer a facility for hands-on learning and research by students at the three partner universities.
		More information about the transfer of the 0.9-meter telescope to the WIYN consortium is available at http://www.noao.edu/outreach/press/pr01/pr0107.html.

	The Clearinghouse Database: Project information
		While data transmission from the WIYN telescope is currently limited by a very slow link to its mountain, astronomers experience significant bandwidth demands for data analysis once the images are brought back to campus.
		WIYN is upgrading its CCD detector from a 2048 by 2048 device (67Mb per image) to a 4096 by 4096 detector (268 Mb per image), and this will increase bandwidth needs for two applications.
		University of Wisconsin, Madison, U.S. Wisconsin Indiana Yale NOAO Consortium, U.S. Entries in the Advanced Applications Database are reviewed periodically by staff members.

	WIYN celebrates five years (Nov 7, 2001)
		The WIYN Observatory on Kitt Peak in southern Arizona celebrated its five-year anniversary recently.
		The centerpiece of the WIYN Observatory is a strikingly modern telescope with a 3.5-meter diameter mirror and sophisticated forefront instruments, including a spectrograph that can deploy optical fibers to analyze the light from 100 celestial objects simultaneously.
		The WIYN consortium recently expanded its reach with the acquisition of the historic 0.9-meter telescope next door on Kitt Peak.

	WIYN Data Distribution and Archiving
		The WIYN Consortium consists of the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University, Yale University and NOAO-the National Optical Astronomy Observatories.
		The motivations for a WIYN Archive and Data Distribution System are to enhance the total science output of the telescope over its lifetime and to ease the data distribution and handling process at all four WIYN institutions.
		An archive increases the total science output of the telescope as investigators attempt new problems with old data, and as statistically large samples of different classes of objects are accumulated, often from projects initially undertaken for a wide variety of purposes.

	Mass Transfer in the Galaxy Pair NGC 1409/10
		The WIYN Observatory is owned and operated by the WIYN Consortium, Inc., which consists of the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University, Yale University, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO).
		The dust lane leaves NGC 1410, crosses the gap, and disappears where it would go behind the starlight of NGC 1409 if it connects to the polar dust seen in front of the nucleus; in fact the STIS data give some support from color data that it is going behind rather than ending.
		The situation can be further explored, using a velocity map of the ionized gas in these galaxies obtained in December 2000 with the Dense-Pak fiber array at the 3.5-m WIYN telescope on Kitt Peak.
