Infrared Astronomy Recent advances in infrared observing facilities, such as the Spitzer Space Telescope, make it possible to study astronomical objects that are heavily obscured by dust or are highly redshifted. The following topics will be included in the course: IR emission from astronomical objects, detectors and observational techniques, and IR sciences (e.g. star formation, galaxy distribution and evolution). The format will be 1/3 in lectures, 1/3 in students' presentations, and 1/3 in hands-on analysis of Spitzer Space Telescope data. The grading will be based on a presentation and a final paper. For graduate students; undergraduates with consent of instructor. Approved for letter grade.
