Bonus points if you can find the place in one of these videos where my cat meows.
Getting updated coordinates
If you have a paper in the literature that was done in the 1970s or earlier (even, for some papers, later), chances are excellent that the coordinates as reported in the literature are not as precise as you need them to be for working with 2MASS, Spitzer, and/or WISE data. How do you get better coordinates for these objects?
- Video overview of how to use 2MASS to get updated coordinates for a source from the literature (~3.5 min)
Using MaxIm DL
MaxIm DL is software that is very popular among the amateur community, and by extension, can often be found in classrooms. It is not free software. In 2011, NITARP teacher John Blackwell developed and kindly donated many training videos for learning how to use MaxIm DL. They are all linked from the Using MaxIm DL page.
