Notes, slides, and links
Chris North, Cardiff University

• Link to presentation slides (pdf)

  

   

• Other links that Chris shared:
  • https://chrisnorth.github.io/multiwavelength-universe/ - an online app to explore astronomical images at different wavelengths - well suited to age 10-16, or those who are just learning about the EM spectrum
  • https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/physicsoutreach/resources/multiwavelength-universe-printable/A "printable" version of the activity above, if you have time and resource to print and laminate
  • https://chrisnorth.github.io/design-a-space-telescope/# - Design your own space telescope, based on mission requirements and scientific information. Aimed at 14-18, as it requires a bit more physics/astronomy knowledge (though the help file is pretty comprehensive)
  • https://blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/physicsoutreach/2014/03/23/illustrative-diagrams/ - A few of the plots I showed in the talk are available here
  • https://chrisnorth.github.io/planckapps/Simulator/ - I didn't talk about the CMB much, but this is a simple website that helps explain how we use the structure in the CMB to determine the relative amounts of visible matter, dark matter and dark energy
  • https://pythagastro.uk - the (roughly monthly) Pythagorean Astronomy podcast - also on Spotify at https://spotify.pythagastro.uk 
  • https://cosmos-book.github.io/contents.html - A list of infographics in a book I wrote with a colleague a few years ago, some of which are freely available online as interactive infographics. A particular highlight is "The high jump" but there are lots there
