It actually has been on some...it used to be more emphasized as I recall (like I think one time asking specific commands or something, it's hard to remember exactly so don't take my word for it). Off the top of my head, a test online gave pictures from JS9/DS9 and asked you to analyze / explain what's going on with them. This should be stuff you're already studying (like multi-wavelength imaging, etc), hopefully, but it's good to see that you don't need to just copy and paste from Chandra, you can actually mess with the images yourself (the ES's can too!).Adi1008 wrote:It hasn't been on any nationals tests or any of the MIT tests (which are written by the national event supervisors) that I've seen.anna1234 wrote:Hey! For those of you who have competed in astro at nationals, has JS9/DS9 software ever showed up on the test?

Re: Astronomy C
Has anyone found good scientific papers for S Doradus? The only one I was able to find was an IOP Science article talking about an usual cooling in its spectrum and some other ones talking about S Doradus type stars in general (LBVs). I can't seem to find one that provides a bunch of information about the star itself.

Re: Astronomy C
I'm not sure how much help this will be, but I've gotten some info from these 2 papers:

Re: Astronomy C
How much will studying based on this year's rules help if I'm interested in doing astro next year? Also, how did you guys start collecting info for astro?

Study the 2014 rules, but if you haven't done RFTS definitely start with general stellar evolution.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:How much will studying based on this year's rules help if I'm interested in doing astro next year? Also, how did you guys start collecting info for astro?
Going through DSOs is a good way to get a feel for the event, it provides plenty of phrases and such to Google.

Re: Astronomy C
Also wondering - I'm thinking it'd be copyrighted, so you'd have to get it from your coach/someone who bought them.PM2017 wrote:Where would one obtain a copy of the 2014 rules?Unome wrote:Study the 2014 rules, but if you haven't done RFTS definitely start with general stellar evolution.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:How much will studying based on this year's rules help if I'm interested in doing astro next year?

Re: Astronomy C
You could probably contact alumni from your high school - I know there are plenty. Barring that, I'd recommend ordering them from the NSO Store.UTF-8 U+6211 U+662F wrote:Also wondering - I'm thinking it'd be copyrighted, so you'd have to get it from your coach/someone who bought them.PM2017 wrote:Where would one obtain a copy of the 2014 rules?Unome wrote: Study the 2014 rules, but if you haven't done RFTS definitely start with general stellar evolution.

Re: Astronomy C
Good job everyone this year:). Helped at an invite, regs, nats...somehow not at states, we'll see about next year.
Which might I add...IS GALAXIES!!! It's still being finalized, but it may involve starburst galaxies, and stellar evolution will of course still be important.

Re: Astronomy C
Thanks for your hard work this year! Any chance you could leak the DSO list for next year too?syo_astro wrote:Good job everyone this year:). Helped at an invite, regs, nats...somehow not at states, we'll see about next year.

For real tho, the nats test had a lot more DSO questions than we were expecting :O I was also surprised to see that imaging analysis stuff, I thought everyone was saying it's never really showed up on a test before rip. My partner and I are really happy with our placement and hopefully we'll do astro together again next year :v!
Just trying my best...
