Radio astronomy projects , by Jeffrey Lichtman, SARA The radio spectrum is by far less used than its visible counterpart. It is a challenge for an amateur to get information from this so-called "noise from space" and be interested in such activities. The next list gathers potential subjects which confirm however there are a lot of thing to do even using small infrastructures. Some of them are ambitious but well in the range of the capabilities of an amateur radio telescope. In parallel to these activities if you can do visual observation of the same areas, you can try to correlate these observations with radio records. Then you will begin to understand where is the true utility of your work. The solar activity Being the most powerful radiosource, the Sun is of course our best observation subject. Your equipment only requests a broad beamed radio telescope, optionaly fixed on an equatorial mount. In a period of a few months you can detect the periodicity of the signals induced by its rotational rate. With some accuracy you can also detect the non-uniformity of this rate according to the solar latitude. Le Soleil radioélectrique Jupiter storms These electrical storms we can heard in the HF bands between 18-24 MHz are of very high intensity and may be detected with communications type receivers tuned to an inactive portion of this band. Antennas used are identical with any antenna system resonant at this frequency. The noises are so powerful that the antenna need not necessarily be resonant.

Uranus by Lorenzo Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third largest ( by diameter ). ORBIT: 2,870,990,000 km from Sun. DIAMETER: 51,118 km ( equatorial ) MASS: 8.683e25 kg Uranus is the ancient Greek deity of the Heavens, the earliest supreme god. Uranus was the son and mate of Gaia the father of Cronus (Saturn) and of the Cyclopes and Titans (predecessors of the Olympian gods). Uranus, the first planet discovered in modern times, was discovered by William Herschel while systematically searching the sky with his telescope on March 13, 1781. It had actually been seen many times before but ignored as simply another star (the earliest recorded sighting was in 1690 when John Flamsteed catalogued it as 34 Tauri). Herschel named it "the Georgium Sidus" (the Georgian Planet) in honour of his patron, the infamous (to Americans) King George III of England; others called it "Herschel". The name "Uranus" was first proposed by Bode in conformity with the other planetary names from classical mythology but didn't come into common use until 1850. Uranus has been visited by only one spacecraft, VOYAGER 2 on Jan 24 1986.

29. FOPMO Astronomy Projects: Galaxy Distances Our project is a first approximation at estimating distance, to demonstratethat anyone, using current technologies, can do some real astronomy! http://pmo-sun.uoregon.edu/~pmo/galdist.html

Technology to Explore Deep Space Rick Kang 1-97 Scientific Use of Digitaized Data - a sampler Goal: Estimate the distance to galaxy M101 by using simple geometry. Suggestion: Quickly read through the entire exercise so that you have a grasp of the nature of the project. Then come back and work out the details. Method: Use concept of ratio of apparent size to distance to relate galaxy at known distance that displays a particular diameter, to galaxy at UNKNOWN distance that displays a different diameter. Tools: Digitized images of known and unknown galaxies (images must be of same scale - we furnish several images here), ruler, calculator, pencil and paper. (Use image analysis software if you wish to download the images, enhance contrast, and count actual pixels.) Astronomy Background: Galaxies are pancake or football-like volumes in space that possess huge gravitational fields, hence collect lots of matter, including hydrogen gas, one of the early building blocks of our known Universe. Over time, much of this gas becomes stars, the stars cook up all the chemical elements of our Periodic Table, and use these elements to produce lots of planets and who knows how many intelligent life forms who may be going through this same exercise at this very moment.

www . Science-Projects . com Astronomy Projects for Beginners INTRODUCTION. Of all the scientific studies, astronomy can be the one that is so immediately filled with wonder. It is so enticing! While so many students would like to do projects in astronomy, alas, the vast majority of projects are not easy to do because they require great expense and skill - great observatories, radio-telescopes, space labs. Before continuing with mentioning a few projects that are possible, it might be wise to suggest to you, the student, to ask your teacher which is preferred for a terrific grade: that you go to the library and then make models of, or write a great report about other people's discoveries, or that you write a report or model your own discoveries. This is a double-barrelled suggestion (1) because any great teacher would much prefer you to do some work rather than merely rephrase someone else's finding. With that thought planted in the teacher's mind, you will have a big edge over your classmates because most or all of your classmates will report on other people's work and the teacher think very highly of your work - PROVIDING that you explain it well so that the teacher understands it. (Remember that if you do a project which few or no one else has done before, you cannot expect the teacher to have done it or know about it. YOU must be the explainer; YOU must be the teacher's teacher. (What are the Kuiper Belts of the outer reaches of the solar system? Yes, 'that' Kuiper!)

Astronomy Projects It has become clear in recent times that the use of machine learning and probabilistic modelling tools is becoming more and more necessary to deal with the large amounts of data which are now available in astronomy, and with the complex latent variable questions which are being asked. Furthermore interactions of astronomers and those from the machine learning community can bring insights into new techniques which are useful both in astronomy but also in the wider arena. Edinburgh University is funding a new initiative to push forward research on joint work between machine learning people, computer scientists and astronomers. Chris Williams and Andrew Lawrence and the principle investigators on this first project. We are pursuing a number of issues and problems where there is a significant overlap of interest. One of the early primers, just to illustrate that things can be achieved involved developing techniques for finding satellite tracks within large sky survey datasets. Other issues currently being studied include automatic categorisation of stars and galaxies, the problems of record linkage and estimating star generation histories in galaxies.

Sample Problems Astronomy Projects Galaxy Rotation An interesting question in astronomy is whether more galaxies appear to rotate clockwise rather than counter clockwise.  A positive answer to this question might imply important properties about the structure of the universe. However, since there are millions of galaxies, it would be essential to automate the process of detecting rotation direction.    The idea to this question is from Professor Karl Nelson (see his memo of 10/19/2000).  Sample galaxy images follow (more are available from here M101 NOAO low.jpg NGC 1.jpg NGC1530 Camelopardalis NOAO low.jpg ...

Advanced Search Jan Wisniewski's Astronomy Projects Roll-off Roof Observatory Observatory with the Roof Off Celestron Ultima 8 with CCD Cameras Short Focal Ratio 6" f/4 Dobsonian This article started off being about Jan's new observatory in Sooke, but I thought it would be interesting to also find out more about how Jan came to exploring what most of us have considered a passion. In the process I found out a lot about the numerous astronomy construction projects that he has worked on since he moved to Victoria. Jan's experiences with astronomy started in the early 70's when he was just in the 8th grade in Poland. He remembers observing Nova Cygni 1975 in August of 1975 and not really understanding what he had seen until days later. As Jan recalls information about astronomy was scarce and often published much later than we would expect in this area of the world. Throughout his high school years he explored the sky with binoculars and sometimes with just the naked eye. A 4" Maksutov was also available at the school. During the subsequent years at university his interest lay dormant until Jan emigrated to the United States and then to Canada. While in the United States he purchased a Celestron Ultima 8 f/10 Schmidt Cassegrain which he continues to use today. Once in Canada Jan joined the London Centre of the RASC.

Matthew's Astronomy Projects Deep Rock Observatory Deep Rock Observatory draws its name not only from the road that I live on, but also from my keen interest in asteroids, comets, and meteors. The observatory currently consists of a circular patch of sand about 5 meters in diameter from which to do visual observations. First Light I took first light from the observatory during the Perseid meteor shower on August 12, 2000 and the collected data was submitted to the International Meteor Organization for inclusion in their Visual Meteor Database. Near the beginning of morning twilight, the aurora borealis (Northern Lights) kicked off just above my northern horizon! Not unheard of, but certainly rare in Oklahoma! I take that as a very favorable omen as to the amazing things yet to be seen from this observatory. Radio Meteor Detection I am currently developing an automated meteor detection system. The system detects the meteors by using the brief reflection their trail provides of distant VHF radio transmitters (the lower TV channels along with FM radio are good examples of such transmissions). With limited funds, I have had to learn to "roll my own" on this project. All of the equipment will be either donated, homebuilt from a kit, or made from scratch. Details will follow... Asteroid Discovery In addition to the meteor studies at Deep Rock Observatory, I've also helped discover a few asteroids which, unlike the meteors described above, are orbiting safely beyond our atmosphere. These asteroids were discovered at the
