Talk:Kitt Peak H-alpha Data
--NicholasJamesKelley 07:20, 22 December 2007 (PST) H-Alpha images taken with the Kitt Peak Observatory has been Beneficial because it allows us to see Active Stars, T-Tauris' fortunately are very active. The two targets that I am monitoring are labeled as 415 and 416, and can be seen in this image.
This images alone allows me to make the statement that these objects emit H-Alpha. To take this idea to a new level we have developed a new way to look at H-Alpha intensity in comparision using simple photometry. The work and final products of this new approach are below.

The I band
--NicholasJamesKelley 08:16, 22 December 2007 (PST) This is the same proceedure that i used for for the R band in Comparison to H-Alpha this time though I used the I band as a Comparison.

Final Color Color plot
--NicholasJamesKelley 10:03, 22 December 2007 (PST) This is the final product of the other two posts, to understand stand this how this is benificial to my project you must first understand that H-Alpha is contained within the R Band. Therefore if one was to take the ratio of H-Alpha/R than you could seperate out the excess in H-Alpha from the R-Band. By comparing this to I/R we are compareing the amount of H-Alpha given off by an object to how much brighter the object is in the I band compared to the R band. T-Tauris' should not only have an excess in H-Alpha they should also appear brighter in the I band. Because a color color plot done on these two ideas would hopefully show where my targets would fall if it be in the area of a yso or a main sequence star.
As you can see in this plot both targets 415 and 416 both seperate from the other " Normal Stars" This shows that these two are indeed bright in H-Alpha and brighter in the I band than the R band.
