Observation System for Space and Astrophysical Science/Exercise 1

Students will choose a particular area from the following areas: space science, X-ray astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic-ray physics, satellite system, balloon system, Monte-Carlo simulation, and data analysis. They will start to study for basic contents of the area, and study a particular subject of research in the area.

1. To understand methods, instruments, and systems for X-ray, gamma-ray, and cosmic-ray observations, and to explain them.
2. To carry out Monte-Carlo simulations, data analysis, or fundamental experiments, and to achieve the results.
3. To present the results with understanding of the significances.

Japanese

Students will select a field from space science, X-ray astronomy, gamma-ray astronomy, cosmic-ray physics, balloon system, instruments, Monte-Carlo simulation, data analysis and so on. They will determine a subject of research in the field, and study the subject.

Students will be evaluated based on efforts in their studies (30%), research results (40%), and presentations (30%).

Textbooks and/or reference materials will be properly indicated during the class.

Instructed properly during the class.
