COSMOS
Astronomy & Astrophysics Cluster 2008
Telescope/Lab Schedule
Most groups will be scheduled for two nights or more at the
Observatory. Some nights two groups are on the schedule, and one group
will use the 24" telescope while the other group uses the 8" telescope.
The groups
that do not need observational data (those doing number counts of
distant galaxies and computer simulations of galaxy formation &
dark matter halos) can come out on the open nights at the start and
end of the program. There are a few extra nights at the end of the term
that we can use as make-up nights for those groups that experience bad
weather on
their scheduled nights.
When you go out to the Observatory to observe, it is your
responsibility to be ready when the van leaves Middle Earth at 8pm. It will be cold at
night, so make sure to wear long
pants and bring a sweatshirt/jacket. Also, bring a
flashlight and feel free to
bring CD's or an MP3 player to listen to, as we can play either inside
the dome. It is also your responsibility to come prepared to carry out your project:
know what objects you will be observing and what data and calibration
images to take. During Project Lab, your TA will help you create a
schedule of the observations to be made.
