This report covers the period from September 1, 1990 through August 31, 1991. The status of the astronomy department personnel, Columbus Project (world's largest optical/infrared telescope on a single mount), and instrumentation is discussed. Research progress is reported in stellar astronomy (single stars, binary stars, novae, and stars of the galactic bulge), nebulae and interstellar matter (helium abundances, emission nebulae, and reflection nebulae), extragalactic astronomy (stars in resolved galaxies, stellar content of nuclear bulges, interacting and starburst galaxies, active galaxies, and quasi-stellar objects), cosmology/theoretical astrophysics (big bang nucleosynthesis, nucleosynthesis in the early galaxy, experimental nuclear astrophysics, and large-scale structure), and atomic physics. A list of published papers is provided.
