Proposal for Radio Observations of T-Tauri Candidates in IC2118
Monitoring T-Tauri Stars using the Perth Obervatory Telescope
Generating Light Curves
Using Perth Telescope
1. Check to see what the current sky conditions are by checking the live camera
http://www.perthobservatory.wa.gov.au//information/po_sky_camera.html
2. Check to see what the current weather conditions are
http://www.perthobservatory.wa.gov.au//information/po_weather.html
3. Weather forecast for Perth - http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/wa/
Log into telescope if conditions look good.

EMAIL tspuck@hotmail.com for telescope access
Chandra X-Ray Data
To date no X-Ray data for IC2118 has been located. If you know of any please contact Tim Spuck at tspuck@hotmail.com.
Kitt Peak H-alpha Data
In January of 2007 students from Oil City High School used the 0.9 Meter Telescope at Kitt peak to image regions of IC2118 in H-alpha.'
Matt Walentosky, Nick Kelley, Sandy Weiser were the students who went!!!!!!
USNO U, B, V, R, and I Data
U, B, V, R, and I data will be used to generate more accurate SEDs for the T-Tauri Candidates
Outflows or Jets
Visible outflows or jets are strong evidence that a candidate is indeed a T-Tauri Star
Multi Wavelength Composite Images
Images and Methods
