Light: Crash Course Astronomy #24
In order to understand how we study the universe, we need to talk a little bit about light. Light is a form of energy. Its wavelength tells us its energy and color. Spectroscopy allows us to analyze those colors and determine an object’s temperature, density, spin, motion, and chemical composition.

Spectroscopy of Astronomical Sources - GROWTH Astronomy School 2018
We can determine the temperature, composition, and line-of-sight velocity of extremely distant astronomical sources just by studying the relative amount of light we receive from them at different wavelengths. In this video, Robert Quimby describes how spectroscopy is used as an important tool in astronomy and the basics of how the data are collected and analyzed. Then a practical example is given of how raw spectroscopic data can be processed (reduced) to determine the redshift of a galaxy.

Backyard astronomical spectroscopy with Bob Buchheim & Scott Donnell
Originally broadcast on March 9, 2024.
In this interactive workshop, experienced spectroscopists Bob Buchheim and Scott Donnell provided an *overview of the field of amateur spectroscopy of variable stars.*
Scott began with a general introduction, targeted at those that have been contemplating getting into spectroscopy, but want to know more before diving in. Bob then covered some of the basic terminology, providing a solid foundation for a general understanding of the field. Finally, Bob and Scott together addressed the question of whether amateur spectroscopy is scientifically valuable, and the types of investigations which an amateur spectroscopist can engage in.
In true "How-To" fashion, we wrapped up with an extended Q&A session, answering many thought-provoking questions from the ...

CRUNCHY TOPIC: Astronomical Spectroscopy!
"Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, infrared and radio waves that radiate from stars and other celestial objects. A stellar spectrum can reveal many properties of stars, such as their chemical composition, temperature, density, mass, distance and luminosity. Spectroscopy can show the velocity of motion towards or away from the observer by measuring the Doppler shift. Spectroscopy is also used to study the physical properties of many other types of celestial objects such as planets, nebulae, galaxies, and active galactic nuclei." ~Wikipedia

Bob then covered some of the basic terminology, providing a solid foundation for a general understanding of the field. Finally, Bob and Scott together addressed the question of whether amateur spectroscopy is scientifically valuable, and the types of investigations which an amateur spectroscopist can engage in.
In true "How-To" fashion, we wrapped up with an extended Q&A session, answering many thought-provoking questions from the audience.

48:47 Part 3 - The Value of Amateur Spectroscopy
1:07:56 Q&A with Bob & Scott
2:07:22 Closing announcements
*Scott Donnell* began his journey in astronomy in elementary school and built his first telescope while in high school. He is an active member of the Colorado Springs Astronomical Society, having served as President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Trustee. He currently serves as Co-Director for the Rocky Mountain Star Star and Deputy Director for the CSASTRO Long Range Planning Committee. Scott is also actively involved with the AAVSO, serving as the Lead for the Spectroscopy Observing Section.
Scott received his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin and his M.S.in Astrophysics from the Pennsylvania State University. His astronomical interests include the application of scientific imaging techniques, including both photometry and spectroscopy, in understanding the physics of variable stars and gaseous nebulae.
Scott also enjoys casual visual observing and still uses that telescope he built over a half-century ago!
*Bob Buchheim* spent his daytime career as an aerospace engineer and program manager. In the evenings he has been the Secretary of the Orange County Astronomers, the President of the Society for Astronomical Sciences, and was a Board member of the American Association of Variable Star Observers. He was awarded the Western Amateur Astronomers’ G. Bruce Blair award in 2010. He spends most clear nights in his “Lost Gold Observatory”.
He has published papers on engineering management, asteroid lightcurves, double stars, and other astronomical topics. He wrote The Sky Is Your Laboratory as a way of helping other amateur astronomers get started with small-telescope research; and a compilation of historically-important observing projects in Astronomical Discoveries You Can Make Too!
