Observational Astronomy (Undergraduate Course)

This course will provide a panoramic view of the landscape of modern astronomical observation, including some of the frontier fields of observational astrophysics. We will focus on the optical/infrared observations and cover the basics of the multi-wavelength and multi-messenger sides of the subject. This course will give a basic grasp of fundamental concepts and methods of observational astronomy.
Observational Astronomy (30920023-0) - 2024 Fall

I have spent some time with Taotie (饕餮) - A curated collection of resources for astrophysical research. There is also a Gitlab mirror if you have difficulty accessing Github. The idea is to provide a community “bookmark” for students wanting to start with astronomy.

HELP WANTED: If you are interested in contributing to this project, please get in touch with me. I am looking for people who can help me maintain it and add more resources!
