LCO Wins Major NSF Grant for the Expansion of Astronomical Network
Undergrad student training on observational astronomy
About
Real observational astronomy motivates undergrad students into science. Bringing groups to observatories is costly for Chilean universities. Remote use of instruments cost-effectively transfers knowledge. We plan to impact undergrad astronomy students with real observational engagement. The telescope and camera are appropriate for a first high-end session, optimized for throughput. This activity aims to provide students invaluable tools, i.e. introducing research method, active learning, experiment design, data interpretation, report writing, error analysis, critical thinking, teamwork.
