中文简介:
课堂从凌日问题开始,学习天文学家通过观测凌日获得的信息。例如,可以估计恒星的半径。此外,应用多普勒频移方法,可以找到恒星的质量。最后,可以计算出恒星的密度。介绍了识别恒星周围行星的第二种方法:天体测量法。该方法可以对恒星在天空中的精确位置进行极其精确的评估。讨论了天体测量方法的特殊性,并解决了一些问题。简要介绍了天文学家用来识别系外行星的三种方法。课程以即将到来的太空任务概述和探测其他星球上存在生物活动的希望结束。
课程简介: Class begins with a problem on transits and learning what information astronomers obtain through observing them. For example, radii of stars can be estimated. Furthermore, applying the Doppler shift method, one can find the mass of a star. Finally, a star's density can be calculated. A second method for identifying planets around stars is introduced: the astrometry method. The method allows for an extremely accurate assessment of a star's precise position in the sky. Special features of the astrometry method are discussed and a number of problems are solved. A short summary is given on the three methods astronomers use to identify exoplanets. Class ends with an overview of upcoming space missions and the hope of detecting the presence of biological activity on other planet.
