SEE REVISED SCHEDULEASTRONOMY 101.004INTRODUCTION TO ASTRONOMYPROFESSOR PATRICIA HENNINGFALL 2014Welcome to a unique astronomy experience!ASTR 101.004 is unique because it is held in the Domed Theater of the New Mexico Museum of NaturalHistory and Science, which contains the highest technology projection and sound equipment west of theMississippi River. We are extremely lucky to have theater professionals help us view planets, stars andgalaxies, fly through star clusters, explore our Milky Way galaxy and journey among the galaxies. Pleasenote that the domed theater demonstrations you will see are NOT artist’s renditions – they are the “realthing” as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope, the Very LargeArray radio telescope and many other ground- and space-based observatories.Class will be held from 6:00 PM until 7:15 PM on Monday and Wednesday. The Domed Theater is locatedat the NM Museum of Natural History and Science at 1801 Mountain Road NE, just north of Old Town.Students usually drive or carpool to class. A simple route is to go west on I-40 from the Big-I to Rio Grande.Go south on Rio Grande to Mountain (stop light). Go east on Mountain to the second light, and you’ll be atthe Museum. Parking is plentiful and free, and no permit is required. You can park on the south side ofMountain, or go north one block on 18th Street to the Museum parking lot. Google and MapQuest will bothget you to the right place.
Entry to our class is through double doors on the south of the Museum, facing Mountain Road – NOT themain doors on the east guarded by the dinosaurs. Doors will be opened at approximately 5:40 PM. TheDomed Theater will be through the double doors to your left. The entry will be obvious.ASTRONOMYAstronomy is the oldest of the sciences, but we’re still making amazing discoveries all the time!One of the goals of this course is for you to become informed enough about the cosmos tounderstand how these discoveries have been made and what they really mean about the universe,and our place in it.In this course, using observations obtained with instruments ranging from our eyes to the mostsophisticated ground- and space-based telescopes, we’ll learn about the objects we observe in thesky. We’ll investigate the universe of these objects as a dynamic, evolving place. We’ll considerthe evolution of stars and their planets, galaxies, and the universe itself. More usefully, perhaps,we’ll learn how scientists approach and solve problems, because many of these techniques translateinto problem-solving techniques useful in virtually any aspect of life.There's no prerequisite for this class, besides an open mind and desire to know what is out there.You will learn some physics and see a small amount of math, nothing more than was required foradmission to UNM.In the lectures, you'll see some of the latest results from the Hubble Space Telescope, the latestMars mission, and more. We’ll also use online homework (see below) to help you keep up with thematerial, and get fast feedback about how you are learning. Please also explore the website thataccompanies the book, through Mastering Astronomy (see below). It contains a hyperlinkedversion of the book, interactive figures, tutorials, animations and videos.If you don't understand something, please ask! Chances are, people around you don't understand iteither. Chat with me after class or send an email if you prefer. Also, check out astronomy materialon the Web. There is a huge amount of it.Now, some basic information about the course:Instructor:Prof. Patricia HenningClass Time:Mondays and Wednesdays, 6:00 – 7:15 PMLocation:Domed Theater, NM Museum of Natural History and Scienceemail:henning@phys.unm.eduHome ext:Astronomy: A Beginner's Guide to the Universe, by Chaisson andMcMillan with MasteringAstronomy, 7th ed.

COURSE GROUND RULESGeneral. There isn’t time to do justice to every topic in the book, or to astronomy in general,especially in the lectures. However, you are generally responsible for all chapter sections listed inthe Schedule below, whether I lecture on it or not. There are a couple of exceptions to this rule.First, the book has more equations than the lectures will have. You are responsible only forequations you see in lecture. Second, you are responsible only for the More Precisely boxes, someof which have a lot of math, if I lecture on them in class. It will benefit you greatly to read therelevant chapter or sections before I discuss them in class, including the supplementary material onthe MasteringAstronomy website. The lectures are used to reinforce the reading and to discuss themore important concepts in some detail.Webpage. The class page (see URL above) will have electronic versions of all handouts (syllabus,test reviews, etc.) and occasionally other material.Grading. There will be four in-class tests, each worth 20% of the grade, all multiple choice, about35-40 questions each. There is no final exam. There will be weekly online homework assignmentsthat together make 20% of the grade (see below). Each test will cover only material since the lasttest (or, for the first test, since the beginning of the course). Tests are closed note and closed book.Test questions will be based on both the lectures and text.Regarding grade disputes; if you feel your test grade is in error, please bring it to my attention nolater than 2 weeks after receiving your graded test.Make-up tests. You may make up a test only if you have a valid excuse AND YOU NOTIFY MEBEFORE THE TEST of any foreseeable conflicts. You must make up the test within one week ofthe original test date. All make-ups will include an oral test.Online homework – MasteringAstronomy. There will be nearly-weekly online homeworkassignments using MasteringAstronomy (see end of syllabus). Your book should have come withan access code for the website www.masteringastronomy.com which will allow you to register andcreate an account. If you don’t have an access code, you can go to this website, click on “NewStudents” and choose “No, I need to purchase access online now”. To “enroll” in the onlinehomework, you need the course ID, which is ASTR101F2014HENNING. When registering, youmust enter your 9-digit UNM student ID number (it’s on your Lobo Card) where it asks for it.Most students take 2-3 hours or less for each assignment. Many questions include hints (you get asmall bonus if you don’t reveal hints) and feedback on incorrect answers. There are 11 gradedassignments in all. Each has a due date and time (schedule is at the end of this syllabus), but youcan take as long as you want before that time. There is a 30% penalty for every day a question inan assignment is submitted late. You get a 5% bonus for each question if you don’t open the hints.You get multiple shots at answering each question, but points are deducted for wrong attempts.You can also see this policy at the Mastering Astronomy website.
The first assignment is a generic introduction that will not be graded, but will help you understandhow everything works. Do this first. The next one is due Tuesday Sept 2 at 10 pm. You canrework any assignment for practice until the end of the semester. It is your responsibility to makesure that the system is giving you credit for your assignments right after they are due. IT IS NOTACCEPTABLE TO REPORT A GRADING PROBLEM MANY WEEKS AFTER IT OCCURS.If there seems to be a problem, contact the Help Desk or me.Why are we using MasteringAstronomy? It’s not just a way to hand in homework, it gives youimmediate feedback, so you can see if you are understanding the concepts. Experience shows thatstudents who do the homework see real improvement in exam grades, which is a good thing. Anddon’t forget that the homework is worth 20% of the grade.Cell phones, Ipods, blackberries, etc.: keep them turned off and out of sight in class or preferablydon't bring them to class at all. Such devices cannot be used or visible during tests.REVISED SCHEDULEDATEAug 18SepTOPICREADINGIntroduction20The Sky, Foundations of AstronomyChap. 025The Sky, Foundations of Astronomy cont.Chap. 027From Aristotle to NewtonChap. 11Labor Day, no class3Radiation and the Electromagnetic SpectrumChap. 28Atoms and SpectroscopyChap. 210TelescopesChap. 315Intro. to the Solar SystemSolar System FormationChap. 4.1, 4.317Test #122The EarthChap. 5, skip 5.724The Moon, Mercury, VenusChap. 5, 6
