Overview<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Stellar Physics Department at ASU<\/a> in collaboration with the Stellar Astrophysics Group at Potsdam University<\/a> in Germany is going to organize second international Observational Techniques Workshop 2022<\/strong> from Monday August 29 to Friday September 9, 2022 at the observatory in Ond\u0159ejov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop consists of lectures and practical exercises, and aims at teaching the students how to prepare and conduct an observing run, how to select targets using data-mining techniques, and how to process and analyze photometric and spectroscopic data. The students will have an opportunity to learn how to observe with the echelle spectrograph OES<\/a> at the Perek telescope and how to perform photometric observation at the Perek 2-m and Mayer 65-cm telescopes in Ond\u0159ejov. Besides gaining unique expertise in observational astrophysics, students will also have the opportunity to significantly contribute to ongoing science projects which this year will be related to Blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars. Students will learn about the astrophysical background of the BHB stars, contribute to observation, try to confirm the BHB nature, and search for RV variations for 31 BHB candidates. Another project will be about the search, observation and analysis of eclipsing binaries consisting of hot subdwarf stars and cool, low mass companions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop is open to interested students from the Stellar Astrophysics Group at Potsdam University in Germany, from the Department of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics at Masaryk University in Brno (course F9146 Observational techniques<\/a>), and from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague (course NAST018 Special practicum II<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
