I spent my time in the second quarter of 1995 on a variety of smaller tasks.

I installed the AIPS software on our workstation, which took several days due
to the complicated nature of the process. AIPS, however, is an important data
reduction package for interferometric data. I also installed the DIFMAP software
from the CalTech. I used this software to complete a map of the radio quasar
0153+744 from VLA data. I also worked on VLBI data of the same source, on which
a paper is planned in collaboration with colleagues at the MPIfR in Bonn.

I received and worked on a first draft of a paper on Zeta Aurigae from Phil
Bennett at JILA in Boulder, CO. From Mark III data I had obtained initial 
orbital elements of this eclipsing binary, and I worked for some time to 
improve the solution. Our results will be added to Phil's spectroscopic
observations in order to derive physical parameters of the components.

I collaborated on two proposals (which were accepted), one to observe two
radio stars with MERLIN (w/N. Elias), the other one to observe four of our
spectroscopic binaries with the McMath telescope on Kitt Peak (w/D. Peterson).

I worked on on-line catalogs for the NPOI. I flew to Flagstaff for two weeks
in June to help with observations with the NPOI. Due to technical problems,
no data were obtained. I worked instead on data reduction software, in 
particular the averaging of raw data (CONSTRICTOR). I also provided special
functions for the control software. Multi-baseline astrometry in CHAMELEON
was debugged.

I helped with observations with the 26-inch refractor at the Observatory for
several nights. I installed my homepage on the World Wide Web and went to a 
Career Development workshop sponsered by USRA. I took two days of annual leave
at the end of the quarter.

I will attend the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Evolutionary Processes in
Binary Stars in Cambridge, UK, from July 10 to 21.
