Galaxy-Classification Activity for All Ages
Kathy L. Cooksey, Anne J. Metevier, Kate H. R. Rubin +2
Classification is a general tool of science; it is used to sort and categorize biological organisms, chemical elements, astronomical objects, and many other things. In scientific c…
The CfAO's Astronomy Course in COSMOS: Curriculum Design, Rationale, and Application
Kathy L. Cooksey, Scott Seagroves, Jason Porter +3
From 2001 to 2007, COSMOS provided a teaching and outreach venue for the Center for Adaptive Optics Professional Development Program (CfAO PDP). COSMOS is a four-week residential m…
A College-Level Inquiry-Based Laboratory Activity on Transiting Planets
Nicholas J. McConnell, Anne M. Medling, Linda E. Strubbe +5
We have designed an inquiry-based laboratory activity on transiting extrasolar planets for an introductory college-level astronomy class. The activity was designed with the intent…
The Core of NGC 6240 from Keck Adaptive Optics and HST NICMOS Observations
C. E. Max, G. Canalizo, B. A. Macintosh +4
We present results of near infrared imaging of the disk-galaxy-merger NGC 6240 using adaptive optics on the Keck II Telescope and reprocessed archival data from NICMOS on the Hubbl…
Keck Adaptive Optics Imaging of 0.5<z<1 Field Galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope Archive
Eric Steinbring, A. J. Metevier, Stuart A. Norton +6
We have employed natural guide star adaptive optics (AO) on the Keck II telescope to obtain near-infrared (H and K') images of three field galaxies, each of redshift greater than 0…
Circumnuclear Shock and Starburst in NGC 6240: Near-IR Imaging and Spectroscopy with Adaptive Optics
Tamara Bogdanovic, Jian Ge, Claire E. Max +1
We have obtained adaptive optics, high spatial resolution (0.15 arcsecond) K-band spectra and images of the region around the two active nuclei in NGC 6240 which show the presence…
