Staff

The staff position at the Armagh Observatory on 31 December 2004 is shown in Appendix B. Individuals are identified by their 3-letter (sometimes 2 or 4) `Starlink' computer username (full e-mail address: xxx@arm.ac.uk), together with their job-title and an indication of their principal function in the Observatory. It is noteworthy that a very high proportion of Observatory staff are involved in core research and support activities, the entire operation being supported by just three administrative staff (mc, ambn, lfy), one of whom (lfy) is shared equally with the Planetarium. Figure 1 shows members of staff and visitors present for the staff photograph in June 2004.
