Analysis of Supernova Remnants Using X-Ray Spectroscopy
with Web-Based NASA Data and STEM Image Analysis Tools
Los Angeles Convention Center - 503
Identify elements in the spectra of supernova remnants to
determine the properties of collapsed and exploded stars using web-based NASA
X-ray data and image analysis tools.
Takeaways: 1. Js9 web-based software can be used to analyze NASA data sets to determine the type of supernova; 2. Js9 provides students with real opportunities to do astronomical research; and 3. Energy spectra from NASA data are used to determine the elements in a supernova remnant.
