I need the individual flux densities, (actual numerical value) so that I can do fitting with theoretical models of a particular type of star with degenerate cores, to see if they are good candidates, such that further observations would be made.

Hi Cantaresg,

Do you happen to know, how to generate the indivdual flux densities in numerical value at wavelengths of particular intrest for all point images in DR6 instead of generating the spectrographs.

Hmm.. Since this is in the coffee corner I shall side track abit too I am astounded by our low education level. Well for starters, I think its kinda unfair to generalise education standards based soely on a single topic. For all you know what they teach over there in SR is some number plugging into ...

Well not exactly studying anything right now... doing something actually worse of than sch... a NSF. Pretty sad eh?

Hi iori86 the "graph" you see is a relatively low resolution spectroscopic analysis of a diffused light source which in this case is a spiral galaxy.The horizontal axis is the measured wavelength in angstrom (10^-10 m) and the vertical axis represents the flux density(intensity) of the sig...

the planet is circling a red dwarf, probably not getting enough heat to sustain life as we know it... Hmm... I don't think that is quite important, cus even for red dwarfs, they have their own habitable zone, just that it is nearer to the parent star. Whether or not Gl 581 b,c can sustain life real...

Thermodynamics in general is the study of the relationship between macroscopic quantities, quantities that only have a meaning when you consider a collection of particles, for example temperature(T), pressure(P) and volume(V).(i.e It is meaningless to talk abt the T P or V of a single particle). In ...

Hi whiteholes, Thermodynamics is the study of macroscopic behaviour, and in particular to your example, by employing an approach known as statistical mechanics. Essentially you are considering the total number of microstates in a system, and assigning a probability to that particular microstate. You...

Im actually trying to investigate extrasolar planets and their planetary behaviour by observing eclipsing binaries for my ssef project basicaly because 1. The orbital plane of the 2 stars are almost in line with the observer, hence reducing the problem of inclination when observing extrasolar planet...

Hi
"I think your school is not using newtonian... newtonian don't use any prism... Also, I think newtonian is the only scope design that won't give you any awkwards observation position..."

are you talking about diagonals.some newtonians have detatchable diagonals.

anyway i'm from vs
