The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ... We've put Python (plus all relevant libraries) on the Stromlo Linux computers moron and maggot. ... Now log in to moron (or maggot). ...

... Like the night sky on the Earth, the martian sky hosts a plethora of astronomical phenomena occurring around the clock in a neverending space opera played out for the benefit of robotic and future human observers alike. ... Moons . Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos . ... Under the same conditions, Deimos would be as bright as -5, somewhat brighter than the planet Venus appears in Earth's sky. ... The moons are also eclipsed by Mars itself (a situation analogous to lunar eclipses at the Earth). ...

... Moscow S. V. Ajukov THE SOLAR ENVELOPE PARAMETERS AND RADIATIVE OPACITIES IN THE MODELS OF THE PRESENT SUN Comparison of the different opacity tables at the solar core conditions. ... The convection zone depth versus the envelope entropy for the three opacity tables. ... The influence of opacity on the standard solar model parameters Increasing opacities from CS70 up to LAOL (WKM) (both in the core and the radiative zone) raises helium content by 4--5%. ... Solar models with modified opacities . ...

... The extinction in terrestrial atmosphere. ... A star was observed at different zenith distances during one night at the Engelgardt's Astronomical Observatory in the program of atmospheric extinction study at blue. ... Calculate the air mass for given zenith distances in 1st 54.9 11800 column, and write the result into the 2nd column. ... Spectral observations. ... Calculate the radial velocity Vr of the star on each date, the results of measurements and write calculations into the table. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
