- Week 1 - Light and the Nature of Images....Plus, an Introduction to DS9
Welcome to Week 1 of "Analyzing the Universe!" This week we explore the nature of light, and how we get astronomical information from the images we obtain. The lectures and "wiki" material address these themes: light, image formation, and DS9. Dive right in! ... - Week 2 - Basic Astronomical Data and a DS9 Smorgasbord
Welcome to week two of "Analyzing the Universe". This week we will be exploring some of the means we have at our disposal to find out many things about the stars. It is really quite incredible that these tiny pinpoints of light can yield so much information ab... - Week 3 - Stellar Evolution and White Dwarfs
This week is our first in-depth look at an x-ray source, and it involves a white dwarf in a binary system. So sharpen up your detective skills, keep your copy of DS9 at the ready, and let's get down to business. It should be an exciting week. - Week 4 - Orbits, Gravity, and Clocks in the Sky
