2018 Fall: PTYS 495B Special Topics in Planetary Science (Section 1)

Section 001 (Harris) is 3 units, Observational Campaigns. Observational campaigns are often assembled around astronomical events of significance such as a favorable comet appearance or as ‘under-flight’ for mission events.  Campaigns can take various forms focusing on a combination of cadence, wavelength coverage, and coordinating multiple observational techniques, all with the aim of developing a more integrated understanding of the phenomenon being studied.  In this course, students will participate in an ongoing campaign. They will be introduced to the scientific goals of the campaign and how the various instrumental tools are combined to address them. They will then become involved in the execution of the observations and the preliminary analysis of the data obtained. Field-participation will be a required element.
