The Level 2 AstroLab is a component of the
laboratory project in our Physics degree in which our Level 2 students
undertake research-led investigations in observational astronomy using
the four telescopes (DRACO2, East-14, Far-East-16 and West-14) on the
Physics building roof.
Students undertake a variety of projects which range from measing the
mass to light ratios of nearby galaxies, measuring the star formation
efficency of nearby star forming regions, meauring the strength of
atmospheric turbulence above Durham using Lucky Imaging, deriving
the effects of limb darkening on exoplanet transits from observations
of the Sun.
