Question
ANswer must be in full complition essay format lab report format to get full credit. Must show method and calculations used but not for each stem just the first steps.
Lab stats as faloows!
As a faculty member at Northern Connecticut State University (NCSU), you are fortunate to have several dedicated undergraduate students who are working on research projects. One of your students, Stella Rastronomy, is using free online astronomy data archives to search for interesting and previously unrecognized objects. She has compiled a list of 36 candidate objects for your consideration, including photographs (see image bellow) and spectral data. Unfortunately, she is graduating this May, so you will have to continue the analysis on your own.
1) Develop a temporary new working name for your type of objects, based on their appearance or your suspicion as to their nature.
2) Calculate everything you possibly can for each object, based on the available data. Submit your work in the form of a table.
3) Based on the accumulated information, develop a classification scheme for these objects. Describe your system in detail, and then classify each object according to your scheme. Note any objects that are difficult to classify definitively.
4) Develop a working hypothesis as to what these objects may actually be. What further observations could test your hypothesis for better or worse (both observations which might help confirm it or disprove it).
5) Select one of the observations listed in #4 and write a letter to the Director of one of the following major observatories, explaining why they should donate telescope time for you to observe your objects in greater detail. How will their telescope aid in the further understanding of your objects?
Hubble Space Telescope (visible light and UV light)
Spitzer Space Telescope (IR light)
Chandra (X-ray telescope)
VLA Radio telescope
Submit your complete analysis in the form of a typed report, including the letter as an appendix. You are free to brainstorm with classmates, but each student must submit their own individual report. Any classmates who supply you information or ideas must be credited at the end of your report. (“Special thanks to _________ for valuable conversations.†This is what professional astronomers do in their published papers.)
Your final report is due at the beginning of the final exam. This exercise will count double (as two lab grades).
