Module 6 – Group 1 – Brandon Christmas & Jeremy Wehking

In this module, we first took observations of Andromeda to map it, using a radio telescope. We did this by using Skynet and the Green Bank Observatory telescope. We used high-resolution spectral mode, and we changed it from mapping 6 beam widths x 6 beam widths to mapping 10 degrees by 10 degrees. Later, we received the images. Then, we processed the images and did containment cleaning and surface model details. Next, we used Afterglow to group the main images together. Finally, we adjusted the image’s brightness and contrast. We made a Doppler color image of Andromeda. We then did the same thing for Messier 82, but instead of using the map type of map, we used the map type of onoff.
