Reduction of Spectroscopic data: Spectrophotometric calibration of Gaia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The goal of this bachelorproject is to determine the absolute fluxes of stars for use as calibrators in the photometric reduction of data from the GAIA (Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics) astrometric satellite, which will fly in at the end of 2011.[1] This project involves observing candidate flux standard stars using the spectrograph on the Calar Alto 2.2m telescope in Sierra de Los Filabres (Andaluca, Southern Spain) north of Almeria. I reduced this data using the GAIA project protocols to provide the reduced data to the GAIA Photometric Reductions Coordination Unit. I conclude with a discussion of the reliability of the data.

Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Iron, Cobalt and Copper by Partial Least-Squares Calibration Method in Micellar Medium
Iron, cobalt and copper are metals, which appear together in many real samples, both natural and artificial. Recently a classical univariate micellar colorimetric method has been developed for determination of these metal ions. The organized molecular assemblies such as micelles are used in spectroscopic measurements due to their possible effects on the systems of interest. The ability of mi...

متن کاملSpectroscopic study of blue compact galaxies I . The spectra ⋆
Blue compact galaxies are compact objects that are dominated by intense star formation. Most of them have dramatically different properties compared to the Milky Way and many other nearby galaxies. Using the IRAS, H i data, and optical spectra, we wanted to measure the current star formation rates, stellar components, metallicities, and star formation histories and evolution of a large blue com...

A rapid, sensitive and versatile kinetic method is presented for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of iodide and iodate by partial least-squares regression (PLS) using original and derivate data named as absorbance and rate data. The method is based on the catalytic effect of the cited anions on the reaction rate between Ce(IV) and As(III) in 2 mol l?1 sulfuric acid medium. The ...
