3D Observing

Apr 7, 2008 Author: Robert Simpson | Filed under: Astronomy, HARP, Posters, Star Formation

It may be brief, it may be pointless but one way or the other I wanted to use the NAM YouTube channel. So here it is, a video of two esteemed Cardiff Professors ‘observing’ a poster about 3D HARP Data

You’ll find the poster they are looking at here. Thanks to Dr. Jason Kirk for this footage.

NAM Poster: 3D HARP Data

Apr 1, 2008 Author: Robert Simpson | Filed under: 3D, HARP, JCMT, Poster, Star Formation

From authors Robert J. Simpson and Derek Ward-Thompson, the poster ‘3D HARP Data’ is listed as part of the ‘Star Formation: The First 3 Million Years’ session.

Abstract: HARP-B data from the JCMT in Hawaii consists of large data cubes covering a wide range of velocity data. This data has been processed here to produce 3-dimensional images (RA, declination, velocity) that can be rotated and manipulated by the user to gain insight into the mechanisms behind the motions of the material being observed. Different 3D velocity shapes are shown here and discussed. 3D glasses can be found attached to the poster.
