Observing

I was asking myself what would be happen to the parallel light beams after passing a spherical glass. Do they pass through one point, exactly? I was interested in observing the result mathematically but solving the equations was difficult and time consuming for me. But afterwards I found it easy... Platforms: Matlab

ASPRO is a complete observation preparation tool developed and maintained by the JMMC that allows to prepare interferometric observations with the VLTI or other interferometers. It allows in particular to simulate the projected baseline evolution during the observations (supersynthesis), derive... Platforms: Mac

Fragmentation Analyzer is a tool for analyzing MS/MS fragmentation data. Currently nine different analysis types are supported: * Spectra Visualization - visualize the MS/MS spectra with fragment ion annotation, zooming and manual de-novo-sequencing. * Intensity Box Plots - analyze intensity...

Discover the relationship between mass, volume and density by weighing and submerging various materials under water. Do objects like aluminum, Styrofoam, and wood float or sink? Can you identify all the mystery objects by weighing them and submerging them underwater to measure their volumes?... Platforms: Mac

AVSOMAT is a framework for automating the scheduling of variable star observations, identification and photometry of variable stars on CCD images, and the reporting, management, and verification of results. It uses electronic charts of the star fields in which variable stars appear, and maintains... Platforms: *nix
