Materials for an activity using BAGPIPES to build intuition on galaxy properties.
Includes data, a blackbox.py
module with functions that should stay hidden from you and two jupyter notebooks intended to run on google colab.
-
Lesson 1: Introduces the galaxy modelling code
bagpipes
and the necessary concepts for creating fake galaxies. Notebook:galaxy_models.ipynb
-
Lesson 2: In this lesson, we use
bagpipes
to compare models with observations and measure the properties of a real galaxy. Notebook:measuring_galaxy_properties.ipynb
