Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course "Observational Spectroscopy" aims to provide students with practical experience in astronomical spectroscopy. Students will apply their knowledge, acquired in earlier bachelor courses, to real-world observations using the 80 cm telescope in the Northern dome of the observatory.
The course content includes setting up and operating the available spectroscopic equipment, observing stars, and producing calibrated spectra with the aid of standard star observations. In addition to the observations, introductory lectures will also be held. For the practical part, students work in teams of 2-4 to conduct observations, to analyze data, and finally to submit a group report.

Previous completion of the course “PR Observational Lab Course (observatory practice)” (Observatoriumpraktikum Teil 2) is required to register for this course.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Assessment is based on the submission of a group report and active participation in practical sessions. A total of 50 points can be achieved in the course, the group report is graded with up to 40 points and up to 10 points are awarded for participation.
Students are permitted to use their own means to process and analyze all acquired data.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Minimum requirements include active participation in the scheduled observational sessions and the submission of a comprehensive group report. Assessment criteria focus on the quality of data analysis, effective teamwork, the application of theoretical knowledge to practical observations, discussion and interpretation of the results, and the clarity and coherence of the report.

In total, a minimum of 25 points (50 %) must be achieved to pass the course.

Prüfungsstoff

Comprehensive understanding of spectroscopic data calibration and analysis.
