Photometry
A discussion of what photometry is and why you would want to do it. Includes where to find already-reduced Spitzer photometry. Also see Aperture photometry using APT.
Units
If you've done photometry before and expect to do it the same way here, BE CAREFUL because IT WILL NOT WORK. The units of Spitzer images can be tricky. This page has a lot of information about these units and how to convert them into more familiar units.
Color-Magnitude and Color-Color plots
A general discussion of color-magnitude and color-color plots.
SED plots
A general discussion of spectral energy distribution (SED) plots.
Making a simple mosaic (with Spitzer data and tools)
This page describes how to make a simple mosaic by combining post-BCD mosaics from more than 1 AOR into one large mosaic.
Making Mosaics Using MONTAGE
MONTAGE is a software package that allows you to make mosaics from any set of astronomical images (e.g., not just Spitzer images).
Making a mosaic from the BCDs
to come
Accessing Kepler and CoRoT data
Kepler and CoRoT data are much more than just exoplanets, but of course they're in here too.
What is a periodogram?
Information on periodograms -- what they are, why you care about them, and how to use NStED's tool for determining them.
Studying Young Stars
More information on the study of young stars, not necessarily specifically Spitzer-related.
Working with L1688
An entire chain of analysis for Lynds 1688 (a star-forming region), start to finish.
Studying Variable Stars
More information on the study of variable stars, light curves, eclipsing binaries, etc.
