| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to clarify the dynamical phenomena in stellar evolution by the high precision astrophysical observations. For such high precision observations, not onlt good whether but also dark and dry sites with good seeing are needed, and such conditions can be fulfilled only by several astronomical observatories in the world. For this reason, we have organized this project to observe by the large telescopes located at such good observing sites in the worlds. The best of these are found at the sumits of Mauna Kea in Hawai and of Andes in Chili. Also, there are several good sites in North America and in Australia. We have sent more than 10 observing teams to these best astronomical sites in the worlds and obtaind very useful data to investigate the dynamical phenomena in stars. Based on these data, dynamical phenomena during the star formation, in close bimary system, and in late stages of stellar evolution are being clarified.
