The aim of this assignment is to teach you how to carry out a very common programming task: reading in a bunch of data from a text file, doing something with it then writing the results out again. ... The goal of the assignment is to write a computer program which will select this sample for you. You will pick the micro-quasars to observe from a rather large catalogue, which can be found here: The catalogue is an ASCII (text) file - you can inspect it with a normal text editor. ...
