Welcome back Astronomy students!! I am always excited to start a new academic year and hope that you are as well. Classes start on Wednesday, September 25.
I send out these weekly emails to you with information relevant to you
as an Astronomy student. For broader community events, including jobs
on campus and activities, please see the Page O'Announcements blog: http://pageoannouncements.
Class Updates: For those of you still looking for Astronomy course options, space is available in the following:
*ASTR
400: Undergrad research seminar (1 credit; CR/NC). This overlaps with a
Friday section of PHYS 227 but we have permission from both instructors
that students can take both classes. You will need to fill out this
form: http://depts.washington.edu/
*ASTR 427: Methods of Computational Astrophysics (3 credits)
*ASTR 482: Scientific Writing (2 credits)
*ASTR 482: Scientific Writing (2 credits)
Student Radio Telescope News: The
Student Radio Telescope (SRT), a 10-ft dish with a 21-cm wavelength
receiver on top of a nearby building, will lie fallow during Autumn
Quarter. But for those of you interested in learning about radio
astronomy, in Winter quarter Prof. Woody Sullivan will offer a 3-hr ASTR
497 course designed to introduce you to the basic techniques of radio
astronomy (antennas of different types, receivers, Fourier transforms,
signals and noise), as well as some of the key areas of astronomy where
radio work is critical: interstellar molecules, pulsars and supernova
remnants, active radio galaxies and quasars, the cosmic microwave
background radiation, the radio sun, etc. For this course we'll use the
SRT as a "lab" component for a few exercises, and in Spring quarter
those who wish can continue with independent SRT projects (ASTR 499),
for 1 to 3 credits depending on your needs and the nature of the
project. Prereq. for the ASTR 497course: ASTR 322 (previous or
concurrent). Prof. Woody Sullivan (woody@astro.washington.edu)
AAS Women Newsletter: The Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy (CSWA)
strives to create a climate of equal opportunity in hiring, promotion,
salary, and in access to research opportunities and infrastructure at
all levels within the field of astronomy ranging from undergraduate and
graduate programs and then throughout a career in teaching, research,
and/or other astronomy-related fields such as public outreach.AASWOMEN is CSWA's weekly electronic newsletter. As a new academic year begins, we invite you to help us expand our community of readers and contributors. Please forward this issue to any new students, post-docs, and scientists that may be interested.
