Hi all, ask whatever questions regarding the slides here, I’ll try to answer them :)

Question / Mistake in the slides Answer

The link on slide 23 does not work, thus the Oh no, seems like the astronomy sg page is
solution to the exercise is not viewable. May I down. I'll write the solutions and put on the
know where I can find the solutions? Thank slides soon! :)
you so much!

For slide 16 in cosmology, you mentioned For the first question im not really sure, gna
that in standard deviation, you should divide do some digging
by n-1 rather than n. Should we use this all
the time, including when using the method of For the second question, y2=5(10x)-4 is
least squares? converted to log(y2+4)=log5 +x log(10)
Also, I am not sure how to convert the Since x is outside the log brackets and is
equation in slide 13 to a linear form as it linear, we use a semi-log where the x axis is
seems like plotting y2 on a logarithmic axis linear, and plot y2+4 against x. You should get
will yield a curve that has a linear asymptote. a straight line, where the gradient is log(10)=1
Could you include the solution in the slides? and y intercept is log5. Does this make
Thanks :D sense? Hope it helps :D

mmm

Does atmospheric refraction allow an


observer to see stars 35’ below all ends of
their horizons, as they should appear to be on
the level of their horizon? Also, what is the
standard value for atmospheric refraction at 0
altitude and does this value change if you are
above/below sea level? Thank you!
