Pat Hall's Research and Teaching Blog. Thursday, November 8, 2012. Technical post about ongoing project.]. To examine colours of one quasar in CFHT imaging:. Locate g, r, i images of quasar. [in this example, they are 1571 386p, 397p, 408p]. Create coordinates file of comparison stars on same chip which are not saturated in any filter. And thus can be used to calculate the aperture correction in all filters:. Photcal head j224733.coo.1. Create coordinates file of quasar:. In photpars, I set:. Imcopy 1571...

Pat Hall's Research and Teaching Blog. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Worthwhile Non-Academic Activities, or, The Strike Made Me Blog. I'll be blogging again for a while because York University TAs are on strike. Previous strikes were 54, 78, and 85 days; thus, we can expect this strike to last 72.3 - 16.4 days. For students on strike, I'll be suggesting activities you can do to build your skills during the strike. Https:/ docs.google.com/document/d/1ry6EQ8AeQarKhVuZOtfrJVn6NyJI0-37dHMdpsnmUGo/edit#.

Pat Hall's Research and Teaching Blog. Tuesday, April 9, 2013. In a term project picked up from my York colleague Paul Delaney, undergraduate non-science majors in my intro astro class photograph a constellation. While doing so last fall, one student may have discovered a previously unknown flare star in Bootes, flaring to 5th magnitude next to omicron Boo and pi Boo. We have dubbed this object "?

Pat Hall's Research and Teaching Blog. Thursday, March 14, 2013. Too long since my last post! Since which I have:. Noticed a new flare star in Bootes (of which more anon). Worked with undergrad students Erik Weiss and Amanda DeSouza on using current observations of accretion disk sizes as a function of wavelength to constrain their temperature profiles, and thought with grad student Laura Chajet about what might produce such profiles.
