Stellar Spectra
Sloan Digital Sky Survey produces two types of data, photometric and spectroscopic. The Spectroscopy project will have introduced you to the types of spectra from astronomical objects.
-
Stellar Spectra: Blackbodies or Not?
Using Sloan data, you will compare actual stellar spectra to ideal blackbody curves. Can stars be modeled as the image suggests? Manager: Kathy Gustavson
-
An explanation of aerodynamic lift
Lift is explained as resulting from circulation, and is not the consequence of the widely held but the erroneous equal transit time hypothesis. Both wind tunnel observations and the author's own wing modeling in OpenFoam...
-
Black Body Radiation and What the Stars Tell Us
This module is a summary of the relation between temperature, energy, and the light emitted by the objects we see in the universe.
-
Chemical Bonds
This course module is a summary of various intramolecular and intermolecular bonds that exist in chemistry with applications to surface tension and capillary action. The impact of bonding should be considered in its own right...

How to Design a Microgravity Experiment
This course is to help students focus their efforts in the task of designing a microgravity experiment for EIS. Experiment Design, Microgravity considerations, microbiological experiments, physical experiments, engineering experiments and physical experiments
-
Electrostatics in Space
High energy charged particles can cause big troubles in space from space suits, to spacecraft electronics, to working in space.
-
Using the Tools of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The database provides photometric and spectroscopic data of millions of astronomical objects. This project will introduce you to the use of several simple tools.
-
Eclipse Natural Phenomena HS
This project will introduce some of the phenomena associated with eclipses that can be seen during the partial phases, and assist the student in the observation and recording of these phenomena: Shadow bands, temperature changes,...
-
Solar Eclipses (High School)
In this project, students learn about the causes, types and other notable features of solar eclipses.
-
Spectroscopy
The spectrum of an object is a graph of the intensity of radiation vs wavelength. A blackbody will give a continuous spectrum. But what causes the lines in the other types of spectra? Can these...

Electromagnetic Waves – A Sea of Information
This course is to help students focus on their efforts in the task of learning about electromagnetic waves. Topic areas: The characteristics and production of the waves. How astronomers use these waves to study the...
