This note is a survey of observational
astronomy across the electromagnetic spectrum. Topics covered includes: overview
of current telescopes at all wavelengths, CCD basics, S/N and integration time,
some basic concepts, Optical and UV, Telescopes and instruments, FITS data and
optical data reduction, Infrared and X-ray, Data archives, object
catalogs/databases, Statistics and regression analysis, Hard X-ray and
Gamma-ray, Radio, interferometry basics, Non-photon signals: neutrinos, cosmic
rays, gravity waves.
This note covers the following
topics: classical mechanics and accretion theory, Vector fields and finite
differencing, Fitting data, Light propagation, Scaling laws and dimensions,
Euler Lagrange equations, Globular clusters, Angular momentum vector, Theory of
thin accretion disks, Binary evolution and bondi Hoyle Lyttleton accretion.
This note provides a quantitative introduction to the physics of
the solar system, stars, the interstellar medium, the galaxy, and the universe,
as determined from a variety of astronomical observations and models.
This book covers the following
topics: Orbits and Light, Spectroscopy, Telescopes, Solar System, Planetary System Formation,
The Sun, Properties of Stars, Interstellar Medium, Star Formation, Stellar
Evolution.
