What it is about

In the seminar you develop the path from data acquisition to scientific analysis of astronomical observations.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand operation of a telescope components
  • Automatic capture of images with a CCD camera mounted on a telescope
  • Define scientific requirements for astrometric observations
  • Determine position (Right Ascension, Declination) of an object from photos
  • Acquire light curves
  • Create software for astronomical navigation
  • Comprehend technical prerequisites for routine operation of a telescope

What the module consists of

  • SeminarDevelopment of a topic, presentation and discussion of intermediate and final results

Teaching method

  • SeminarformStudents develop concepts on predefined topics, present intermediate results and discuss the further course with instructors
