Presentation

The presentation of a group should have 4 parts, each student will present a single part.

  1. Imaging: the selected telescope, its location and the observation procedure.
  2. Image processing: the processing steps, and the final iTelescope image of the object.
  3. Comparison: compare the iTelescope image with 5 images taken by professional research-grade telescopes (use CDS)
  4. Essay: talk about the “science communication” essay that you wrote about this object using ADS, following these steps:
    1. Use the Gemini Gem Astrophysicist to find 10 most relevant papers.
    2. Create a NotebookLM using the 10 paper PDFs, and more online professional resources if you can find any. Create ideas or the essay using this. Do not use any unreliable online resource. Trust only published papers or university and space agency websites.
    3. Write the final essay using the NotebookLM ideas, and polish it using your personalized Gemini.
