•Raw data to one accessible directory
•Copies of logs to everyone
•Everyone needs to do basic reductions:
–Bias
subtraction
–Flat
fielding
–Combination of
images and cosmic ray rejection
–Flux
calibration/image zero points
•“Basic”
Analyses (on several ellipticals and spirals)
–Integrated
magnitudes and colors, preferably with errors
–Surface
Brightness Profiles and fits (e.g., r1/4 law)
–“Pretty”
three color pictures (presentation is important)
•Additional
Analyses (should try several of these)
–Quantitatively
measuring “diskiness/boxiness” of ellipticals (tricky)
–Ellipse
position angle, ellipticity as function of radius
–Inclination
angle of an intermediate spiral galaxy
–Colors of
bulge vs. dust lane across bulge
–Colors of
spiral arms/H II regions
–Anything else
clever you can think of – be creative!
•Everyone
should write up results as a paper using LaTeX with all the five standard parts
of a scientific article
