After plotting psr_0329_54 in skynet’s plotting software I was able to Sonify the pulsar. I was able to find out the period of the pulsar through this sonification which I ending up measuring .8 seconds ± .1. This data fits … Continue reading →

In Module 5A, my partner and I studied the remnants of stellar decay. NGC 5189 is a planetary nebula that has a field of gasses surrounding a white dwarf. The white dwarf is the core of a star that is … Continue reading →

In Module 6, we used radio observations of the Andromeda Galaxy that we entered into Skynet. The goal was to measure the neutral hydrogen that was already existing in the Galaxy. We used the natural frequency of the hydrogen as … Continue reading →

In module 6 I took radio observations of Andromeda. I measured the neutral hydrogen that was present within the galaxy. I used the natural frequency of the hydrogen and the doppler shift to map out the range of frequency. The … Continue reading →

Brandon Christmas, Joe Corrigan Velocity Mapping of Andromeda In this module we observed the presence of neutral hydrogen inside of the Andromeda Galaxy. We wished to find out how fast parts of Andromeda were moving towards or away from us. … Continue reading →

Brandon Christmas and Joe Corrigan In this module we studied stellar remnants. The kind of stellar remnant we observed was a planetary nebula. The particular Nebula we observed was NGC 5189. The gaseous cloud structures of Planetary nebulae form when … Continue reading →

During this module, We observed star forming regions. Our group observed Messier 42, otherwise known as Orion’s Nebula. We did this using Skynet and the Astronomical Observatory of the Jagiellonian University’s OAUJ-CDK500 telescope. We attempted to use the  V, R, … Continue reading →

Here is the sonification for PSR 1133+16. For this observation I used pulsar mode to save me time with analysis and Sky net gave me this useful Jpeg of different charts and information. The period of this pulsar was 1168.4 … Continue reading →

Here is an image I took of NGC 6302 otherwise known as the Bug Nebula or Butterfly nebula. This is a planetary nebula that has a very hot central star within it. To take this image I used the Prompt … Continue reading →
