  • 1– Observational Astronomy / PHYS-UA 13 / Fall 2013
    { 1 { Observational Astronomy / PHYS-UA 13 / Fall 2013/ Syllabus This course will teach you how to observe the sky with your naked eye, binoculars, and small telescopes. You will learn to recognize astronomical objects in the night sky, orient yourself using the basics of astronomical coordinates, learn the basics of observable lunar and planetary properties. You will be able to understand and predict, using charts and graphs, the changes we see in the night sky. You will learn to understand basic astronomical phenomena that can be observed with basic instrumentation. In addition, this course wishes to provide you with an insight into the scientific method. The instructors is: Dr. Federica Bianco (Meyer 523, [email protected]). Office hours are Tue 930AM (or by appointment). The TA is Nityasri Doddamane ([email protected]) Books The primary textbook is • The Ever-Changing Sky, James Kaler. In addition, we will use the • Edmund Mag 5 Star Atlas • Peterson Field Guide to the Stars and Planets, Jay Pasachoff • the laboratory manual. Each week you will attend one lecture (at 2pm Monday in Meyer 102) and one lab (at 7pm on either Monday or Wednesday in Meyer 224. You cannot switch between the lab sections, because in general they will be on different schedules). Arrive for the lab (on time!) at 7:00pm. The content of the lab will be discussed at the beginning of the lab session. When appropriate, and weather permitting, we will go to the observatory. For the labs: you MUST arrive on time, or else you will not be able to access the observatory.

Another thanks goes out to Scott Cadwallader and John R. Nagle for fixing the Library Telescope. The telescope was missing a thumbnut witch Orion Telescope replaced, Scott and John, put the thumbnut back on and reset the collimation. Let’s don’t forget the Total Lunar Eclipse coming up this January 20th. See HRPO announcement below. We are planning 2019 and hope to have an enjoyable year for our members. I’d like to find more opportunity to point our telescopes at the night sky. If there is anything you’d like to see, do, or wish to offer let us know. Our webmaster has set up a private forum: "BRAS Members Only" Group/Section to the "Baton Rouge Astronomical Society Forum" (http://www.brastro.org/phpBB3/).

  • Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars
    Kaspar von Braun & Tabetha S. Boyajian Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars July 25, 2017 arXiv:1707.07405v1 [astro-ph.EP] 24 Jul 2017 Springer Preface In astronomy or indeed any collaborative environment, it pays to figure out with whom one can work well. From existing projects or simply conversations, research ideas appear, are developed, take shape, sometimes take a detour into some un- expected directions, often need to be refocused, are sometimes divided up and/or distributed among collaborators, and are (hopefully) published. After a number of these cycles repeat, something bigger may be born, all of which one then tries to simultaneously fit into one’s head for what feels like a challenging amount of time. That was certainly the case a long time ago when writing a PhD dissertation. Since then, there have been postdoctoral fellowships and appointments, permanent and adjunct positions, and former, current, and future collaborators. And yet, con- versations spawn research ideas, which take many different turns and may divide up into a multitude of approaches or related or perhaps unrelated subjects. Again, one had better figure out with whom one likes to work. And again, in the process of writing this Brief, one needs create something bigger by focusing the relevant pieces of work into one (hopefully) coherent manuscript. It is an honor, a privi- lege, an amazing experience, and simply a lot of fun to be and have been working with all the people who have had an influence on our work and thereby on this book. To quote the late and great Jim Croce: ”If you dig it, do it.

  • The COLOUR of CREATION Observing and Astrophotography Targets “At a Glance” Guide
    The COLOUR of CREATION observing and astrophotography targets “at a glance” guide. (Naked eye, binoculars, small and “monster” scopes) Dear fellow amateur astronomer. Please note - this is a work in progress – compiled from several sources - and undoubtedly WILL contain inaccuracies. It would therefor be HIGHLY appreciated if readers would be so kind as to forward ANY corrections and/ or additions (as the document is still obviously incomplete) to: [email protected]. The document will be updated/ revised/ expanded* on a regular basis, replacing the existing document on the ASSA Pretoria website, as well as on the website: coloursofcreation.co.za . This is by no means intended to be a complete nor an exhaustive listing, but rather an “at a glance guide” (2nd column), that will hopefully assist in choosing or eliminating certain objects in a specific constellation for further research, to determine suitability for observation or astrophotography. There is NO copy right - download at will. Warm regards. JohanM. *Edition 1: June 2016 (“Pre-Karoo Star Party version”). “To me, one of the wonders and lures of astronomy is observing a galaxy… realizing you are detecting ancient photons, emitted by billions of stars, reduced to a magnitude below naked eye detection…lying at a distance beyond comprehension...” ASSA 100.
