The Sarah L. Krizmanich Telescope (SLKT) is located at the Jordan Hall of Science on the University of Notre Dame campus. The SLKT is a 0.8-m Optical Guidance Systems[1] reflecting telescope and it is used for undergraduate astronomy and astrophysics research and teaching.[2] Discoveries concerning the nature of cataclysmic variable stars, and a potential exoplanet, have been obtained using the Krizmanich Telescope.[3][4][5]
