    I Software for Analysis of FITS table/spectra

    One more question, just how well do you think Excel can handle this kind of analysis? You think it will be sufficient?

    I Software for Analysis of FITS table/spectra

    Unfortunately I'm not a coder/programmer for now, so obviously I can't use Python - I need to finish my thesis before to learn to code with all the time I have afterwards.

    I Software for Analysis of FITS table/spectra

    Thanks for the suggestions, are they more "graphical" in user interface? ie: With buttons to click on instead of having to do everything by command lines. I can't find screenshots on the site. Do you know of anything like these that also run in Windows? I have Linux on VirtualBox but obviously...

    I Software for Analysis of FITS table/spectra

    Hi guys, I need help, more specifically in a technical issue. I started my thesis with an Astrophysics professor and he gave me a topic of "M dwarf spectra with cyclotron bumps from SDSS". In short, I am given spectra of a number of cylotron bump M-dwarfs (CBMDs) from unusual quasar search from...

    Studying How can I regain motivation in studying Physics?

    Let me put it this way, I have a handful of skills, I can speak a couple of languages, I am not anywhere worrying about unemployment. There are lots of things I can do other than science. Meanwhile, I would like to continue my study and go down this path. But undergraduate stuff is more tedious...

    Studying How can I regain motivation in studying Physics?

    I do not quite understand what you are trying to say (except the last sentence) and I wonder if you understand what I was saying.

    Studying How can I regain motivation in studying Physics?

    Hi everyone. I'm a final year undergraduate physics student, in fact, in my final semester wrapping up courses & my thesis. I had dreamed about getting PhD, becoming a decent physicist and such but...the truth is, I am not even sure if I want to continue going down that path anymore. Here is my...

    I Why do we use Complex Wave function?

    Given that we can satisfy the wave equation with a simple sine & cosine wave function (the real part of the complex wave function) in classical mechanics, why do we use the complex wave function in EM theories? In QM it is obvious that it gets more mathematically more consistent. Out of curiosity.

    GPA Started off Bad, any chance?

    Hi all, I am currently in my Year 2 study in BSC. Physics my GPA was nowhere near good in year 1, because I wasn't familiar with how university works, and everything in the courses was new to me. (I don't mind posting the numerical value here if it helps analyzing my situation) PS: My major...

    Studying in Top-Uni in the World?

    I am not sure which field I am interested in the most yet. But given that the number of professorships is so few, I can imagine what it is like out there. I am currently taking German courses in my uni, should consider Germany as a destination as well, I hope there are more members on this...

    Studying in Top-Uni in the World?

    I will go wherever there is any opportunity... btw, what do you guys know about Germany? I heard that they have a shortage of workers and techs? Thanks

    Studying in Top-Uni in the World?

    Ok thanks for the detailed reply, I am checking out the link "becoming a physicist" in the forum, I hope I will see the way soon.

    Studying in Top-Uni in the World?

    Basically I understand what you guys mean, and my biggest concern are still: - is PhD a smart investment? or am I just wasting hundreds of thousands? - getting into something I want Yes, in Asia, fame of your university may mean more than what you are capable of... I do agree that what I do is...

    Studying in Top-Uni in the World?

    Hi everyone, I am currently an undergrad studying Physics in one of the top uni in Hong Kong, and I have a question for a long time: if I want to be a professor/successful scientist, is it important that I should get a post-grad degree from the top universities in the world? (ie: MIT...
