Special Practical Course II

Class at Faculty of Mathematics and Physics |
NAST018

Syllabus

Methods of observations and astrophysical data reduction: Spectroscopy. Program and objectives:

1. Description of the 2-m telescope and slit spectrograph, dispersion.

2. Selection of targets according to the scientific program: emission stars, symbitic stars, spectroscopic and eclipsing binaries. Emission and absorption spectra. Balmer series.

3. Calibration frames (comparison spectrum Th-Ar, darkframe, flatfield).

4. Reduction of measured spectra, spectral line identification, radial velocities determination. Tasks are processed via remote access to the 2-m telescope or directly in the dome of AI ASCR in Ondrejov.
