A Study Of The Lhires Iii Spectrograph On The Hard Labor Creek Observatory 20 Inch Telescope, Benjamin G. Jenkins
A Study Of The Lhires Iii Spectrograph On The Hard Labor Creek Observatory 20 Inch Telescope, Benjamin G. Jenkins
Physics and Astronomy Theses
I present a study done to determine the characteristics of the LHIRES III spectrograph on the 20 inch RC Optics telescope at Hard Labor Creek Observatory. I describe the settings of three different diffraction gratings, collimation and focus issues, and practical aspects of use. The spectrograph was used with a SBIG ST-8XME camera for all studies. Data collection was accomplished with the Maxim DL software package and analysis was completed with IRAF. Solutions for the dispersion relation with all three diffraction gratings were found. Several projects are underway with this instrument. I present time series spectra of α Vir to …
Factors That Impact International Students? Learning Of Introductory Physics At Georgia State University, Eric Kweku Appiah
Factors That Impact International Students? Learning Of Introductory Physics At Georgia State University, Eric Kweku Appiah
Physics and Astronomy Theses
This study uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative enquiry to focus on determining the most salient factors that affect international students’ learning of introductory physics in Georgia State University. For purposes of the study, “international students” were defined as those who attended high school in a country other than the US. These students comprise a significant portion of the physics courses at Georgia State, and this study was motivated by the desire to support their success. The study involved a collaboration with the newly emerging Physics and Astronomy Education Research Group who has recently begun the routine collection of …
