Changes for next year (NEW)

Galaxy Morph (11-8-2024)

  1. We're a bar galaxy (current refers to Sc)
  2. Galaxy Morph length
  3. Class e0 section might lead to a bit of redundancy

Hubble's Law

  1. From Julio - “the column listed as “redshift (angstroms)” might be misleading. Redshift is technically delta lambda/lambda_0 but the column is just looking for delta lambda. Might be a good idea to change the column's label to “delta lambda (angstroms)” to avoid confusion.

Kepler

  1. Clarification of string demo (video Hannah sent out)
  2. Total number of points are currently 53. Not the usually 65.
  3. Page Three - check metric prefix definitions for micro and nano

Spectrum

  1. Clarification of bohr model

  2. Kepler laws - revert back to the NAAP UNL version (https://astro.unl.edu/naap/pos/animations/kepler.html)
  3. Density - might need to be shorten to account for clean up
  4. HR Diagram - change the wording “are a bit screwy”
  5. HR Diagram - Add more examples of how HR Diagrams can be used.

Completed Changes

  1. Understanding Spectra - section X.6 needs a new link seeing that UNL no longer has flash animations - Turns out the old link now works again! Sticking with the old link!

TA Lecture Slides

  2. Revert to a bare 'skeleton structure'
