Advanced Introduction to Infrared and Spitzer
Photometry
A discussion of what photometry is and why you would want to do it. Includes where to find already-reduced Spitzer photometry.
Units
If you've done photometry before and expect to do it the same way here, BE CAREFUL because IT WILL NOT WORK. The units of Spitzer images can be tricky. This page has a lot of information about these units and how to convert them into more familiar units.
Color-Magnitude and Color-Color plots
A general discussion of color-magnitude and color-color plots.
SED plots
A general discussion of spectral energy distribution (SED) plots.
Advanced Literature Searching
Searching the literature is an essential part of doing research!
Studying Young Stars
Originally background information for the IC 2118 project, but applicable to any Spitzer study of star formation.
Specific IC 2118 information
Specific M81 information
Downloading data with Leopard
leads into
Mosaicking - simple (more than 1 AOR from pbcd prod)
need example using regular photos
