http://www.planetary.org/programs/projects/neo_grants/grants_2007.html
The 2007 Gene Shoemaker Near Earth Object Grants, totaling 34,500 (USD), were awarded to an international collection of amateur astronomers and researchers:
Eric J. Allen, Quebec, Canada;
Robert E. Holmes, Jr., Illinois, USA;
Jean-Claude Pelle, Tahiti, French Polynesia;
Donald P. Pray, Rhode Island, USA;
Giovanni Sostero, Udine, Italy;
Brian D. Warner, Colorado, USA; and
Quanzhi Ye, Guangzhou, China.
The observers and their projects were selected from a group of 23 proposals that The Planetary Society received from 11 different countries on five continents.
Eric Allen, from Quebec, Canada, is awarded 3,600 USD to automate the dome of a 0.4-meter telescope so it can be used robotically.

Robert Holmes, Jr., of the Astronomical Research Institute in Illinois, USA, is awarded 8,000 USD for the purchase of a Santa Barbara Instruments Group STL1001E CCD camera. Holmes and his NEO Follow-up Project team will use the new camera on their 0.81-meter telescope to provide observations of Near Earth Objects to magnitudes fainter than 21. The Planetary Society Shoemaker Grant will allow the 0.81-meter telescope camera to be controlled robotically, dramatically expanding the data returned from the telescope.

Jean-Claude Pelle's observing location in Tahiti is not only enviable, but is also scientifically valuable, being in the southern hemisphere. Pelle is awarded 5,000 USD for the purchase of a new CCD camera for a 0.4-meter telescope.

Donald P. Pray operates the Carbuncle Hill Observatory in Rhode Island, U.S.A. He is awarded 7,500 USD to upgrade and put back into service a 0.35-meter telescope that was displaced when he installed a 0.5-meter instrument. He plans to get both telescopes operating simultaneously and robotically. Pray is one of the most active observers on the "BinAstSurvey" project, which is searching for asynchronous binary asteroids among small NEAs, Mars-crossers, and inner main belt asteroids, and has himself discovered a number of NEO binaries and contributed observations of many others.

Giovanni Sostero represents the Associazione Friulana di Astronomia e Meteorologia in Remanzacco, Udine, Italy.Sostero and his collaborators Vincenzo Santini, Antonio Lepardo, Ernesto Guido, Virgilio Gonano and Luca Donato are awarded 4,400 USD for the purchase of a computer to control the CCD camera on their 0.45-meter telescope, for the purchase of a coma corrector for the telescope to provide a better field-of-view for the camera, and for the purchase of a set of color filters for photometric observations of NEOs.

Brian Warner is awarded 4,000 USD to fund an additional 0.35- to 0.4-meter telescope for the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado, USA. Warner's observations of NEOs will be made over a sufficient range of phase angles in order to establish accurate absolute magnitude and phase slope parameters for targeted objects. These data can be used to find the sizes of asteroids and to better understand the nature of their surfaces.

Quanzhi Ye from Guangzhou, China, is an 18-year old college student and the principal investigator of the Lulin Sky Survey. Ye is awarded 2,000 USD to purchase a laptop and software to run a 16-inch automated telescope at a fairly unique northern hemisphere observing site.

The Planetary Society thanks all the Shoemaker NEO Grant applicants.

Ye is awarded 2,000 USD 是几个里最少的.
我还以为是平分呢，不太公平。不过荣誉更重要，钱是身外之物。::31:: 从上面的资料看来，奖金的分配是用于满足各人项目的器材需要。 赞！恭喜！ 呵呵…… 谢谢各位的congratulations... 原帖由 littlePig 于 2007-3-8 23:12 发表

是的，所以不存在“他们分给我最少的”问题。 小龙应该申请经费在广东某山头建立个基地，那我们都爽啦！ ::25:: 原帖由 littlePig 于 2007-3-10 11:30 发表小龙应该申请经费在广东某山头建立个基地，那我们都爽啦！ ::25::
强烈支持这个建议！::32::::32::::32:: 引用: littlePig 在文中说道:

应该建在全国各地
组建观测网
我们也爽了！::25:: 恭喜小龙，广东天文的骄傲！
