=Extra notes:=
 
−
 
 
−
Powerpoint 1:
 
−
 
 
−
NASA has some great observatories.
 
−
 
 
−
Why do we need to use different telescopes?
 
−
 
 
−
1. “To see different things”
 
−
*a. X-rays vs. gamma rays
 
−
*b. Atmosphere absorbs certain wavelengths
 
−
*c. Atmosphere is opaque to certain wavelengths
 
−
*d. Dusty regions are not seen in optical, can’t see through it
 
−
 
 
−
2. Why are we using archival data?
 
−
 
 
−
*a. Data does need to be sorted but by the computers but
 
−
*b. Cryogen is gone.
 
−
*c. Surpassed its lifetime.
 
−
*d. 3 & 4 and MIPS is gone but lots of data just haven’t been looked at
 
−
*e. Hotter objects shorter waves
 
−
 
 
−
Powerpoint 2:
 
−
 
 
−
1. What is SSC?
 
−
 
 
−
*a. Spitzer Science Center
 
−
 
 
−
2. Wavelengths and bands
 
−

−
 
 
−
4. Hopefully use WISE data
 
−
 
 
−

−
 
 
−
6. P. 34 jail bars and instrument artifacts. Washed out some of the things around it. Messy.

−
 
 
−
7. Chemistry and elements used
 
−

−
1. Star formation. Major topic on top of page 3. 
 
−
*a. Small stars and stars with dusty disk
 
−
*b. Phase 0 yee hah yakky yak
 
−
*c. Probably won’t be able to pin down the age of the object but will not be able to pin down the distance.
 
−
*d. Links and files to movies
 
−
 
 
−
2. Extrasolar planets are hot topic
