    • Curriculum Vitae del Prof. Stefano CRISTIANI

    • INFO ABOUT LECTURES AND EXAMS (PART OF M. GIRARDI)

    • Part of the course is based on computer in student laboratory, a lot of stuff can be taken from moodle2, plus fits files via flashusb, the use of an individual flashusb is strongly suggested. Outdoor part at the local Observatory will be made with the help of Dr. Giula Iafrate depending on the agreement/funds of Department and Observatory.

    • ACTIVITIES AND EXERCISES

      The are many home works to make, you can skip one but not more. If you skip, before the exams you have to present all of them!

    • If you are a good student=no skip homeworks, you will present only one argument.

      For instance, for the year 2018/2019, this is the list of possible arguments for final exam/Girardi's part, ask to the teacher for the stuff you need: 1. Astrometry of an image; 2. Analysis of results for Radio Observations (V sim const in the I quadrant and Galaxy map - best in II and III quadrants); 3. Photometry (of an image, with galaxy/star classification too, or other); 4. Reduction and z measure of one one spectrum.

      In other years, other arguments are possible depending of the year, i.e. the description of the experince in Asiago, a light curve of a varable, and so on.

    • FOR THE PART OF PROF. CRISTIANI, ASK HIM, GENERALLY A LAPTOP IS USEFUL AND THE EXAM IS BASED ON A PROPOSAL

    • TOPICS OF PREVIOUS YEARS

    • put the file source.* in your account, adapt it, and before working: source source.*

      mkdir libsalva and put inside the library you need

    Star/Gals classification

    +gaiaAstrom   +gaiaPhotom   in  flashUSB, hereafter main files.pdf.....you need  the .bashrc too

    HOMEWORK ASTROMETRY: pput coordinates on the image EFOSC....fits and give me the coordinates of the 3 objs pointed by circles in EFOSC.jpg

  • IRAF basics & data reduction +possible LONG HW with the reduction of a Spectrum no sl01 o sl02

    +other stuff in flashUSB  or here at the end (ONLY FOR STUDENTS OF THE COURSE)

  • Astronomical observations & co with Giulia Iafrate.
    For preparation of long term homeworks based on your data, too.
    • Remote Radio Observations of Our Galaxy

      * based on  what we have made in Astrophysics of Gals (Kartunnen book or other) for 21cm observations in Our Galaxy

      for  the lecture you need SALSA.pdf file here

      we will also need files from https://vale.oso.chalmers.se/salsa/welcome

       VERY IMPORTANT: the day of observations, at the end, STOW position and TRACK to avoid damage!!!!

      HW: make the V vs R and XY plots

      FOR FINAL RELATION TOO, by taking more points by themselves and some more explanation/details
