Description: The Hamilton Amateur Astronomers is a group of individuals dedicated to the enjoyment and advancement of astronomy. Celebrating 25 years!
Join us on Friday June 9th as we welcome Dr. John Percy, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto. His topic for the evening will be “Variable Stars, the AAVSO, and You”.
As Dr. Percy describes it, “Variable stars are those stars which change in brightness, which most do — they are “action in the sky”. In this presentation, I will give an overview of variable stars, and how skilled amateur astronomers contribute to their understanding — especially through the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO). You can, too! I will also briefly describe my current research projects which make use of AAVSO data”.
