This notebook provides a comprehensive approach for analyzing and visualizing astronomical data from FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) files, focusing on moment maps derived from molecular line emissions within the galaxy NGC 0628. The analysis involves applying various image processing techniques to handle corrupted pixels, reconstruct images, and enhance the quality of moment maps. The notebook also demonstrates how to simulate super-resolution to improve the spatial resolution of the data. By utilizing Gaussian filtering, median filtering, and contrast enhancement, the approach improves the clarity and precision of the data, making it suitable for detailed astrophysical studies. This tool serves as an efficient method for processing and visualizing large-scale astronomical datasets for further analysis and scientific interpretation.
This project presents a comprehensive spectroscopic analysis of O and B-type stars, neutron stars, and white dwarfs, with a focus on the detection of helium (He) and oxygen (O) in stellar atmospheres. By leveraging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and utilizing tools such as Astropy, Astroquery, and Specutils, the project aims to identify key spectral lines of helium and oxygen, as well as the formation of heliox (OHe) molecules. The methodology involves querying SDSS for relevant spectral data, filtering and analyzing it based on stellar classification, and visualizing the results using advanced techniques. The findings contribute to the understanding of stellar evolution, chemical processes, and the role of these elements in various stellar classes. Additionally, the project incorporates interactive data exploration with Aladin Lite and Simbad, offering a robust framework for future astrophysical research.
