Python, Colab and Github for Astronomy

Learn the python software language. Use it for your STEM career.
Python has become the language of astronomy and astrophysics – as well as other sciences and
engineering. Join our new Boyce-Astro seminar to get a start in python. As part of this curriculum, we
will explore the lifetimes of stars using the Hertzsprung Russell diagram (HRD). We will then learn how
to query large amounts of data from the Gaia, Kepler satellite databases using Python within Colab. We
will then analyze and filter this data to plot HRDs for thousands of stars in our immediate solar
neighborhood and distant globular clusters.
The seminar will introduce you to Python, Google Colab, Github, Markdown Syntax, Jupyter Notebook
and much more during the 5 sessions planned. If Mother Nature cooperates, we might even do a live
stream from The Bush Telescope located in Washington State!

Our instructor, Chandru Narayan, is a long time amateur astronomer and currently teaches Computer
Science and Astronomy at The Bush School, Seattle, Washington [https://www.bush.edu/].

Successfully completing IntroSTARSTM is the prerequisite for the seminar.


If you have not taken our FREE IntroSTARSTM, please sign up here before March 10th:

The IntroSTARS Quiz to qualify for this Python for Astronomy seminar will be sent to you on March 11th
and will be due back by March 14th. Those who have already passed the Quiz need not take it again.

The course fee is $29 and will be due on March 16.


The class size is limited to 20. High school and college students have preference.
