What the project is |
|
Background/Plan This page has some information we discussed about Color-Magnitude Diagrams, and using them to find age and distance. |
|
Data From Our Observing Run This has links to all the data we took on our observing run. There are some example bias frames and flat-fields, and then all the images we took of globular clusters and standard stars. All the data are given in before-and-after form so you can show the difference that bias-correction and flat-fielding makes. This page might load very slowly because it has so many pictures. |
Doing Photometry This page talks briefly about measuring the magnitudes of our stars, and has a couple example images. |
Making our CMD (and making it better) This page has our first CMD and our cleaned-up one. |
Analyzing our CMD for Age and Distance This page has our work on M5 to get the age and distance from the CMD. |
Color Image of M5 This page has our side-project, making a color image of M5. |
Presentation This is the PowerPoint presentation on open and globular clusters prepared by my students and Stu's. Since this is the output of a Microsoft product, the resulting HTML is highly suspect. Use at your own risk. |
Outside Links This page has links to more information that you may or may not find useful. |
