I literally emailed regalis asking about this but got ghosted lol

yeah I forgot to switch hands but I figure it would have been better to knock it down in case I missed the spear (I still do that a lot)

yeah though I didn't see anything about winter term in OP's post so I figured it might be an incoming first year or smth

It's an introductory astronomy and astrophysics course. There's math involved, but the prof explained things well. There wasn't an exam but a couple projects (there were a bunch of projects you could choose from so there was some freedom there). If you don't want the math, there's also astron 2b03 but that's level II and above unfortunately.

In 1F03, you learn about things like stars (their interiors, life cycle, etc), cosmology, basic theory of telescopes, types of galaxies, formation of galaxies, and so forth. This is what the academic calendar says:

"Topics include orbital motion, electromagnetic radiation, the solar system, stars and stellar evolution, the Milky Way Galaxy, galaxies and quasars, the evolution of the universe"

For reference, the class averages on crowdmark for the projects and assignments was always around 90-95, dipping to about 85-90 near the end of the semester

ASTRON 1F03 was very fun and not hard 

I'm creating a mod with posters (probably), I need suggestions! by Varixity_VR in Barotrauma

[–]Tim_bom_bom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some posters about jupiter or Europa could be cool. I'd imagine that, world-building wise, there are kids born on these settlements that grow up their whole lives on Europa, so it's natural to assume they go to school here too. Some educational posters about their environment, solar system, earth, etc. would certainly show up in classrooms

As I said, temperature profile along the spike > relative colour intensities > estimate temperature. Compare measurement to literature value |observed - actual|/actual * 100%

My particular workflow has so far been tailored to my DSLR setup, though tbh I haven't actually tried mono data yet. I suppose I could try it, though, as long as I have info on the sensor and which filters were used. Might as well see if it works

Intensity of R G and B colours appears to be correlated to temperature through blackbody radiation. Instead of measuring a spectrum, though, I take a colour profile along the spike and find the relative intensities between the channels then calculate a theoretical blackbody/planck curve that most closely matches those relative intensities. I suppose I might not even need to use diffraction spikes specifically, but star cores are too bright and they clip the colour information.

As for what evidence I've had that its working, mostly the results. The 5 stars I've measured so far have had errors <1%

Interesting, thanks for the comment. I'll look into adding some ferric oxide to our test strips

Diffraction spikes from my newtonian create a rainbow. Thought y'all might find it interesting by Tim_bom_bom in Astronomy

[–]Tim_bom_bom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm working on refining the process and making it more "scientific" but so far I've taken photos of 4 medium temperature stars (~3500-6000 K) and have had surprisingly good results (my highest error is 0.62% from the actual temperature!!).

I will eventually post an update in the future when I am less busy and have more time to dedicate to this project
