AI Thread Summary
A new research group focused on Astronomy and Astrophysics has been formed in Sri Lanka, comprising enthusiastic undergraduates eager to engage in research. However, the lack of local research opportunities has led to disappointment among students. The group is exploring possibilities to assist in international research projects, particularly those in collaboration with NASA or similar initiatives like KEPLER. Suggestions for accessing astronomical data include platforms like Galaxy Zoo and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which offer extensive star coverage and data for research purposes.

Hi,
Recently, at our department we formed a research group in Astronomy and Astrophysics with a bunch of young enthusiastic undergraduates who are keen on engaging in research work. Since not much research work in Astrophysics being carried out in Sri Lanka, the students are bit disappointed at the moment.

Therefore we are looking at possibilities of assisting in research work carried out in foreign countries.

So anybody aware of such opportunities for our group to somewhat assist the scientists in major projects that are being carried out in collaboration with NASA or other projects like the KEPLER etc.

I don't think this is as technical as you are wanting, but it might be of interest nonetheless:

Thanks a lot
 
Keep in mind there are many ways to get astronomical data for use, most notably Sloan which has lots of star coverage, and also I believe spectrum available.

Sequences and series are related concepts, but they differ extremely from one another. I believe that students in integral calculus often confuse them. Part of the problem is that: Sequences are usually taught only briefly before moving on to series. The definition of a series involves two related sequences (terms and partial sums). Both have operations that take in a sequence and output a number (the limit or the sum). Both have convergence tests for convergence (monotone convergence and...
