Eclipsing Binary Stars  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
M. Belloni
Post a comment | Relations
Eclipsing Binary Stars model simulates the detection of eclipsing binary stars. In this method, the light curve from the combination of the two stars, and how it changes over time…
Stellar Aberration 2D  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
T. Timberlake
Post a comment | Relations
The Stellar Aberration 2D Model illustrates the phenomenon known as the aberration of starlight, first reported by James Bradley in 1729. Aberration occurs because light has a finite…

100
Byline:
T. Timberlake
Post a comment | Relations
The EJS Shapley's Globular Clusters Model shows the distribution of globular clusters around the plane of the Milky Way as determined by Harlow Shapley in 1918. The Space View frame…
Fitting Cosmological Supernovae Data DEDGP  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
J. Moldenhauer, L. Engelhardt, and K. Stone
Post a comment | Relations
The Fitting Cosmological Supernovae Data Model allows users to compare and fit cosmological models with recent supernovae type Ia datasets to confirm the accelerated expansion of the…
Stellar Blackbody Radiation Curves  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
M. Belloni
Post a comment | Relations
The Stellar Blackbody Radiation Curves model simulates the blackbody radiation curve of stars and how this leads to the observed color and luminosity of the star. If a star can be…
Hertzsprung–Russell (H-R) Diagrams  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
M. Belloni
Post a comment | Relations
The Hertzsprung–Russell (H-R) Diagrams model simulates Hertzsprung–Russell (HR or H-R) diagram for groups of stars. The diagram is a scatter plot of steller luminosity vs. stellar…
Stellar Parallax and Aberration Package  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
T. Timberlake
Post a comment | Relations
The Stellar Parallax and Aberration Launcher package is a self-contained file for teaching the concepts of parallax and aberration of light as they apply to astronomy. The file…
