Download or read book Exercises in Practical Astronomy written by M.T Buck and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a series of well-defined problems supplemented by solutions, Exercises in Practical Astronomy: Using Photographs presents meaningful practical work in elementary astronomy and astrophysics. The book provides authentic astronomical photographs of very high quality on which different types of objects can be studied with equipment as simple as rulers and protractors. In addition to photographs and a set of exercises that cover 12 topics, the coverage includes ample hints and worked solutions that are designed to enable students to work independently. SI units are used for physical data and in conversions of astronomical quantities. This book is one of the few to use real rather than idealized or simplified data in the problems.

Download or read book Exercises in Astronomical Data Analysis for Beginners written by Dr. Smriti Mahajan and published by OrangeBooks Publication. This book was released on 2023-05-18 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book bridges the gap between textbooks and practical research by taking a pragmatic approach towards various concepts in astronomy. It introduces students to astronomy-specific jargon used by professional astronomers, while covering a wide range of topics from stars to galaxy clusters. It will aid learners with preliminary experience in computing and/or astronomy to experience astronomical data analysis. Each exercise also includes a summary of the accompanying theory to provide learners a head start. Although this book was conceptualized from introductory astronomy courses, undergraduate students, amateur astronomers, and college lecturers will all find it useful.

Download or read book Selected Exercises in Galactic Astronomy written by I. Atanasijevic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galactic Astronomy is, and for some time to come will certainly remain, one of the more important items in the astronomy curricula. There are at present a number of excellent text-books and monographs covering the whole subject or certain of its aspects. It seems however that there is not a single book where at least some of the more important problems dealt with in text-books and university courses would be presented in the form of laboratory exercises. This short series of exercises represents an attempt to fill this gap. What is, in general, the aim of such exercises? As to this point, the author fully agrees with Prof. Minnaert's opinion that "No natural science should ever be taught without practical work. Students in astronomy should have regular exercises, not so much to teach them observing skill, but mainly to bring before their eyes the reality of the concepts introduced during the lectures." This applies to Galactic Astronomy as well as to any other branch of our science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contains a number of laboratory exercises in Astronomy along with appropriate data tables and charts. The manual leads students through various topics, like constellations, measures in Astronomy, coordinate systems, cosmic objects and their characteristics, elements of cosmology and others. It's designed for College and High School students as well as first years of University students, where Astronomy is discussed on the introductory and intermediate level. It can be also used by individuals who are interested in practical aspects of Astronomy. The manual is accompanied by the supplement in which methods of respective exercises' solution and solutions themselves, are presented.
Download or read book Introductory Astronomy Exercises written by Dale C. Ferguson and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ferguson's flexible and useful INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, provides professors and students with laboratory exercises that are well-tested, current, and flexible to individual course needs. These labs have a variety of origins and authors, and bring a broad range of activity to the introductory astronomy lab. Most require only inexpensive equipment. INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, gives students practical experience with the things they only read about in their book, such as using a telescope and CCD photography. Ferguson groups the exercises together by whether they deal with the solar system or stars and other objects beyond the solar system. Three introductory exercises on using telescopes, viewing constellations and the Celestial Sphere, and using numbers in science set the stage and help readers overcome anxiety. A combination of indoor and outdoor labs allows for adjustments due to weather conditions. A chart that cross-references exercises in this manual to relevant chapters in Brooks/Cole astronomy books adds to the book's flexibility, and help the instructor reinforce selected topics.

Excerpt: ...at lower temperature will absorb light given out by the same at higher temperature. If white light be transmitted through vapors at lower temperature, it will be deprived of the wave lengths characteristic of each vapor. It will give a broken spectrum. 4. A widening of lines in general indicates that the source of light is undergoing pressure. 5. Doppler's principle. A displacement of lines toward the red end of the spectrum indicates that the source of light is receding; a displacement toward the blue, that the source is approaching. 6. A coincidence of reversed lines in the spectrum of sun or star, with bright lines obtained from some element in the laboratory, indicates the presence of that element. 7. Zeeman's principle. If a source of light is placed in a magnetic field, the simple lines of its spectrum will be resolved into triplets or more complex forms. EXERCISE XXV USE OF CLOCKS Clocks are of two kinds: 1. Those which keep sidereal time; that is, the actual time of the earth's rotation. These " sidereal clocks" begin the day, 0h 0m 0!, at what is called " sidereal noon," the instant when the vernal equinox crosses the meridian. They are graduated into twenty-four hours. 2. Those which keep " mean time"; that is, which mark noon when the fictitious sun crosses a certain meridian. They may keep a. Local mean time; that is, mark noon when the fictitious sun crosses the meridian of the place. b. Standard time; that is, mark noon when the fictitious sun crosses the standard meridian. c. Civil mean time, which begins the day at midnight. "d. Astronomical mean time, which begins the day at noon. Description of clocks at Whitin Observatory.i 1. The sidereal clock is by E.
