RESOLVE Data Science Portal initialized

Posted May 22, 2022

We aim to make the RESOLVE and ECO surveys accessible to interested students, teachers, and members of the public for scientific exploration. Unlike most astronomical surveys, RESOLVE and ECO provide data that can often (not always!) be readily interpreted without advanced statistics. We have begun constructing the new Data Science Portal (DSP) to guide non-astronomers as they learn to use our survey data to explore the basic science of galaxies. The inaugural DSP contains two tutorials vetted and improved by high school physics students (taught by Leslie Chamberlain at The Harpeth Hall School): What is a galaxy? by Zack Hutchens and Galaxies and their different flavors by Derrick Carr. The DSP is available from the outreach menu item and also linked here.
