Course Description
This is an introductory course to modern observational methods used in astronomy. Students become familiar with ground and space based telescopes and detectors, imaging techniques and image processing, and spectroscopy. Through practical exercises, students gain insight into how astronomical observations are carried out and the errors caused by the different techniques. They understand the limitations inherent in measurements and the capability of performing observational theses in astronomy as well as the techniques used in spectroscopy, interferometry, photometry, and polarimetry.
