Cosmic Explorer's Workshop: Telescopes, Data Analysis, and Colorful Skies

Welcome to the "Telescopes and Photometry" workshop repository. Explore the world of telescopes, from optical to radio, infrared, X-ray, and gamma-ray, and understand their unique contributions to astronomy. Additionally, dive into the fundamental concept of photometry, learning how to measure celestial object brightness. Join us on this journey

Photometry Materials

This repository contains the following materials:

1. Notebook: photometry.ipynb (https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1qYafR1xzluWYCwNFQIOhMqEnFFaLrYQQ?usp=sharing)

   • This Jupyter Notebook provides step-by-step instructions and code examples for performing aperture photometry on astronomical data using Python. Follow along with the notebook to learn the basics of aperture photometry.

2. Astronomical Image (FITS File): carina_sci.fits

   • The FITS file contains sample astronomical image data that we'll use for the photometric analysis. You can use this file to practice the techniques discussed in the workshop.
   • Download Large FITS File

3. Presentation Slides: Talk2.pdf

   • These slides provide an overview of photometry's key concepts and methods.
