Stellar Sparkles
Apparent magnitudes of open cluster, NGC 6231, using B & V Filters
In the ‘Stellar Sparkles’ project, I utilized Python and packages to analyze the stars within a star cluster (NGC 6231). By applying various algorithms and data analysis techniques, I was able to isolate individual stars, identify reference stars, and assess their apparent magnitudes. This project not only honed my programming skills but also deepened my understanding of stellar populations.
Baryonic Tully-fisher Relation
Relationship between mass and rotational velocity of spiral galaxies
Exploring the correlation between baryonic mass and rotational velocity in spiral galaxies. In my research on the BTFR, I analyzed observational HI 21-cm data of supernova host galaxies with accurately known distances. Using statistical methods in Python to help construct a minimal scatter template for BTFR.
