What is the instruments for studying the stars?

Answer 1

We know that the telescope is commonly uses to study stars. Remember, however, that there are a number of different types of telescope, and they are usually characterized by which portion of the electromagnetic spectrum they are working in.

Answer 2

Some instruments used for studying stars include telescopes (like optical, radio, and infrared telescopes), spectrographs, photometers, and cameras. These instruments allow astronomers to observe and analyze the light emitted or reflected by stars to learn more about their properties, composition, and behavior.

Answer 3

A telescope is an instrument used by astronomers to gather information about stars. Powerful telescopes allow astronomers to view stars and observe size, movement, orientation, proximity to other celestial bodies, and much more. the Hubble space telescope is a gigantic telescope in Earth's orbit that sends pictures back down to Earth from which astronomers are able to obtain massive amounts of information from.

Answer 4

There are two ways to tell the temperature of a star:

1. Color

Stars that are green to blue are very hot and black and brown stars are very cool.

2. thermal

By placing thermal imaging cameras on a telescope, we can tell the temperature of a star.

Answer 5

The color is a good indication of the temperature. For a more detailed analysis, the energy distribution among different parts of the spectrum is analyzed. Basically, hotter objects have a maximum energy output at higher frequencies.

Answer 6

Star temperatures are determined through various calculations regarding its relative size, distance, and color. the principle of dopler effect is use full to measure the temperature of stars..

Answer 7

A lot of information can be gathered using telescopes of various sizes.

The most important procedure used to gather information about stars is spectroscopy.

Each element in the Periodic Table produces a unique set of lightwaves. Gathering light from a source in space and plotting the different wavelenths against a diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum allows to determine a unique fingerprint of an element present at the source. Measuring the light coming at wavelenghts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, allows you to determine composition not of visible stars only, but also of planets and any other object.

Technique of parallax, which uses trigonometry, can be used to determine the distance to a star, to a certain range.

Answer 8

The telescope in all its many forms-radio,hubble etc.

Answer 9

1). Optical telescope 2). Radio telescope 3). Spectrophotometer

Answer 10

Telescopes, astrolabes, star charts, radio-telescopes, interferometers, spectroscopes, etc.
