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.
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.
