Práctica en espectroscopia estelar como apoyo a las actividades del Observatorio Astronómico de la Universidad Distrital

Abstract

This internship project focuses on the design and development of a support tool for teaching stellar spectroscopy and the use of the LISA spectrograph (which is located at the Astronomical Observatory of the Francisco José de Caldas District University) a Starting from a theoretical-experimental practice, where we will focus on the study of the chemical composition of a star, this will be achieved thanks to the use of the LISA spectrograph and an analysis of the information obtained. For the design of this practice it will be necessary to compile different bibliographic references, focused mainly on the teaching of astronomy and on the corresponding theory to understand the science that underlies spectroscopy. It will also be necessary to learn to use and calibrate different instruments of the astronomical observatory necessary to achieve the development and application of the practice. This practice will be done as an experimental guide along with the descriptions of use of the different instruments that are required in practice, and will be provided as support material for the activities of the Astronomical Observatory of the Francisco José de Caldas District University, in order to promote the teaching and learning of astronomy.
