Full Description
This exam examines how atmospheric conditions impact the quality of optical observations in astronomy.
Understanding atmospheric effects is vital for astronomers as they can severely degrade image quality and hinder accurate data collection.
Students will discuss factors such as seeing, transparency, and local weather conditions, as well as their influence on observational methodologies.
Candidates may also explore techniques for compensation of atmospheric disturbances during astronomical observations.
Sample Questions
- What factors contribute to seeing conditions during astronomical observations?
- How can astronomers compensate for atmospheric disturbances to improve image quality?
