If you're asking why the thread is empty, it's just that this year has been very quiet across the study event threads. I'm not sure why, but as always you're free to ask questions here about astro if you need any help.

Re: 2023 National Tournament: Wichita State University

Congrats everyone! Is it normal for nationals tests to reuse questions from previous years? I have heard that Green Gen C and Forensics both significantly reused questions from certain previous years, which concerned me a bit since previous tests can be bought from SOINC. Did you hear that last yea...

Re: Astronomy C

Will the tests ever deviate from the original DSO names (i.e, using alternate names for DSOs)? There are a couple of really common alternate names, but sometimes there's like over 10 for just one DSO, which I think is because of all the different catalogs which named the object. So, how often do yo...

Re: Astronomy C

As I'm not competing anymore 😔, I'm a little curious. What do people think are some of the most difficult quirks of this event this year? Well... the removal of hydrostatic equilibrium makes things certainly a bit more reasonable. Researching the general object types this year is a bit harder than ...

Re: Astronomy C

Sorry for the wait y'all! Below is a radial velocity curve of a hypothetical spectroscopic binary star system. The horizontal axis is the phase of the orbit and the vertical axis is the radial velocity in km/s. The period of the system is 10 days and assume that the orbit is viewed edge-on. Also, as...
