Abstract: | Amateur spectroscopists are getting organized to contribute to professional astronomy work. We present here the work done within the AUDE association to design, manufacture and distribute the Lhires III high-resolution Littrow spectrograph, which fits usual amateur telescopes and CCD cameras. We also review how the communication is organized through the ARAS distribution list (Spectro-L), forums, and workshops to develop and promote spectroscopic work among amateurs. Last but not least, we introduce the Be stars spectra (BeSS) Virtual Observatory-compatible database and its use for the monitoring of Be stars in association with the COROT satellite. |
