| − | == Meeting from 10/9/2007 at Oil City High School ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | We are going to get started monitoring our brighter T-Tauri candidates and generating light curves for them in the R and I band.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I (S. Weiser) have selecetd two targets to monitor:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | SSTiau Name is 050511.5-064346, RA = 5h 5m 11.6s, DEC = -6d 43m 46.9s, Rmag = 15.3

| − |
| |
| − | SSTiau Name is 050517.4-063734, RA = 5h 5m 17.5s, DEC = -6d 37m 34.3s, Rmag = 16.7
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Estimated exposure time - 180sec
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using http://heavens-above.com and The Sky planetarium software I've estimated we will want to be on the telescope in Perth Australia sometime between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM EST throughout October and November. Does everyone else agree?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using the New Mexico Sky telescope (near El Paso, Texas), we will need to be on the telescope between 6:00 AM and 7:30 AM EST. Does everyone agree?

| |
| − | Sandy, I agree with you about the times for Perth and New Mexico Skies. I've reserved the following time in Perth. We can get time on New Mexico Skies as well from the folks at NOAO. Thanks, Mr. Spuck

| |

| |
| − | 1) is it giong to be interactive or informational?
| |
| − | a) are people going to be able to "plug in" the information and it's going to spit out a light curve?
| |
| − | b) is it just going to be a "follow along paper" telling them how to do it step by step?

| |
| − | From Dani ... we tried observing T-Tauri targets using the telescope. Weather looked good at 3:32 PM EST, but telescope stated "Conditions were not sufficient for Observing". Nick K also tried earlier, but got the same results.

| − | TRY - AGAIN ..... TRY AGAIN ..... TRY AGAIN" .... this seems to happen alot. it happened to nick also when he tried to image just a few minutes before I did. is something wrong with the telescope? When I checked whether conditions it was clear and the windspeed was at 6.7, so the conditions should have been fine....... i tried again at 13:37 and it stated the same thing. pattern? okay, so it just toldme at 13:39 that the whether conditions were insuffecient or something along those lines... ''what exactly are the ideal conditions?'' [end of Dani post.]

| |
| − |
| |
| − | From Nick, today I attempted to image my targets at 13:15 est and again at 15:31est. Both times the imaging failed due to some internal problem with the Perth Telescope. I then tried at 16:20est.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | i am almost done with my light curve. i used the HOU [hands on universe] program to collect my data. fast and easy. However, there were only 4 constants in the images, two of which being my targets. once I create the spread sheets along with the graph, I will try to find a way to get them on here along with a step by step on how I did it.

| |

| |
| − | After figuring the Julian Date for the data, the light curve started to loop. By loop, I mean that the dates stacked fairly close to right above one another and circled through them forming a loop. By this loop problem, I've made the assumption that if a set of data has several points that are seconds or minutes apart, the data will loop. To solve the loop problem I averaged together the points that formed the loop and had that as my point. Doing so decreased my data points severely, but did work in achieving my desired goal.

I did go into the images we have already taken and saved some of the images titled Daniscandidates to my personal computer. I don't really know what to do with them though. How many pictures do we have that are focused on my center? Should I start getting the data pulled together and working on my real light curve now that I am finished with my practice light curve? Or should I simply focus on mastering the wiki?

I just found out today that the RA motor went bad in the mount. I will post more news as I get it. We will probably have to start using New Mexico Skies telescope for our observations. This means being up at 2:00 AM EST ... any volunteers? For now, why don't you focus on working with the rest of the team ... bringing them up to spped on how to access and use the Wiki, as well as working through the Wiki to see what we should focus on in our AAS Poster.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1. Did the two of you use all the same reference stars?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2. Did the two of you use the same software to get the brightness values for your reference stars and YSO candidates?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also, I'd like to se you modify your graph a bit. Label the Y axis more clearly (don't just say ratio ... ratio of what?). Also, turn the julian dates (ie. like I had Dani do hers). And use the scatter plot with the line connecting the data points. Also correct your spelling error in the graph title. Thanks.

You can make the graphics in paint, or draw and scan them in, or use a digital camera to take pics of your notes and upload the graphics. Either way is fine with me.
