Main Variable Stars Back - To Logbook

Monday, February 25, 2008
I went through variable star data and put it on the graphical analysis program. I don't know how to read it but PF was going to help me with trying to figure out some information but we ran out of time in class, so he's going to be teaching me some other day.

Looked through my data. Forgot to ask PF about learning how to tell when elements are in the variable star graphical analysis. I'll see if we can go over it tomorrow in class.

PF showed me where I could find the emission lines on the pdf file. I put them all onto one picture so I wouldn't have to go searching for the pdf and also searching through the pdf. I actually put the pdf onto my desktop because it looks like it might be useful in helping me determine the elements that are in the stars spectra. I don't know. I'm going to have to see if PF can help me read the spectra or talk to Dr. L about it tomorrow.

Did some kind of project for Dr. L that tested an e-lab. Took about 5-10 minutes of class. After that, PF talked to me about elements that I can find using the Graphical Analysis. How I need to use an emission and an absorption line to determine a ratio.. I'm going to have to probably go through it one more time with PF with me doing the work to see if I fully understand it.

LEAP YEAR!! :D AND NATIONAL HUG EVERYONE DAY!!

So I asked PF what the equation was that he used yesterday. I think it involves red shift.. yes it does. i just asked PF! :)

The equation for red shift: 1 + z = observed/rest

Today, PF and I went/(are going to look) over some more of the Graphical Analysis process. :) So bye! Because that's what I'm off to do!

So CM was looking at the analysis thing that we did yesterday so I decided to check it myself... i don't know which one is actually mine but there are some that have been completed and some that are still running from yesterday... I don't know how to find out which one is mine so i can't tell you if mine has been completed or not.. But i believe i have figured out which one is mine. I believe i am number 42 and it is completed... but yeah.. maybe it isn't so i don't know! bye!
