Talk:Main Page

Looking for information on meeting with Mr. Spuck? Or on all the fabulous stuff you wrote on June 30? Luisa moved it off to its own special much more prominent page here: Information for students in research teams !!

Comments on Luisa's Spitzer Tutorial

This area is for comments on the Spitzer tutorial prepared by Dr. Luisa Rebull. The original website for the tutorial is http://spider.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/rebull/ic2118/ . The sub heading below corresponds to the headings on the website above, and notes here tell you whether the information has been edited and polished and entered ("ingested") into the wiki, and if so, where it is. If you have comments or suggestions for things to make it better, please either just edit the page directly, or start a discussion/talk page linked to that page (go to the page, and click on "discussion" at the top of the page -- see the example picture from my screen right here:

INTRO PRESENTATION

The intro information has several subsections.

• intro to infrared and spitzer. Very little of the basic infrared and spitzer information has been ingested, in part because there's a lot of material already out there that we don't need to reinvent. There is a placeholder with some information here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Introduction_to_Infrared_and_Spitzer

(needs some updating, editing, etc.)

• intro to star formation. nearly all of this has been ingested, and it is here:

https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Studying_Young_Stars

• intro to ic2118. only part of this has been ingested, and it is here:

https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Specific_IC_2118_information

• intro to data reduction. none of this has been ingested.

DOWNLOADING OUR IMAGE DATA

All of this has been ingested. it lives here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Downloading_data

LITERATURE SEARCHING

All of this has been ingested. it lives here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Information_for_teachers#Literature_searching (should this be its own page, not part of this main page?)

DATA FROM OTHER WAVELENGTHS

All of this has been ingested. it lives here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Information_for_teachers#Data_from_other_wavelengths

OUR SPITZER MOSAICS

This has not been ingested at all yet. This is partially because I want to write the paper before releasing the mosaics on the web.

There is a general discussion on three color images that lives here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Making_3-color_images

INDIVIDUAL DATA TABLES FROM SPITZER DATA and BANDMERGED DATA TABLE FROM 2MASS + SPITZER DATA

This has partially been ingested. This is partially because I want to write the paper before releasing the data tables on the web, and this is partially because the data needs to be reprocessed to get the final best photometry. The processing we used before had a variety of problems and issues. It was good enough for what we used it for, but it needs work.

There is a general discussion on color-color and color-magnitude diagrams here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Color-Magnitude_and_Color-Color_plots

There is a discussion on units here: https://coolwiki.ipac.caltech.edu/index.php/Units

There is nothing yet except a placeholder on SEDs (see the Information for teachers page). This is where I ran out of gas!!!
