Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2763 This course will focus on the multiwavelength emission of celestial sources and bring the students in touch with the technical capabilities of currently available telescopes. The students will study a set of different sources, one source at a time, that are known to show multiwavelength emission. They will study each source at all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, compare properties at different wavelengths and try to assign theoretical models to their observations. The students will actively discuss the observed discrepancies in class and draw conclusions about what is needed to answer open questions regarding the physics of a source. This class will also have active observations with the 16'' optical telescope at Haverford College as well as radio observations carried out with the 20-meter radio telescope at the Green Bank Observatory to study the multiwavelength characteristics of celestial sources.; Prerequisite: ASTR 204; Enrollment Limit: 30 Natural Science, C: Physical and Natural Processes (; Hav: NA, C) Temporary change to the enrollment limit for Spring 2021. |
