The two science stories for the Discovery Portal tutorial are Discovering new data on the Enigmatic T Tau YSO and Evidence for Galaxy Mergers. In both cases we are trying to discover images about these objects; in the first case to study the protostellar binary and in the latter to look for tidal tails indicative of a merger event.
Questions
Note
The Discovery Portal is an asynchronous search. New results stream in as remote services respond unless the query has been cached. T Tau r=10s will be cached!
This example picks up from the previous one, except instead of looking for images one is looking for catalogs.
Question
Can we identify tidal tails in NGC 3393 from archival data?
Approach
Find optical HST or radio HI images of NGC 3393 and visually inspect them.
Resources & Outline
Target HST ACS datasets.
Analysis
Download the images and load them into ds9.
