Megaflares 1 You want to observe a monster stellar flare on

Megaflares

1) You want to observe a \"monster\" stellar flare on a young star referred to as a megaflare with 10,000 times more energy than the most powerful explosion ever observed on the Sun. Such a powerful eruption heats the plasma to the temperature of 220 million Kelvins, which is more than 10 times hotter than the temperature at the Sun\'s center. What type of technology (telescope, detector) will you use to observe such an event? Defend your choice.

Purchasing Your First Telescope

2) Telescopes are an essential part of observing the sky. There are even telescopes for personal use to see celestial bodies that are the closest and brightest in the sky.

Respond to the following questions based on your review of the Sky and Telescope Web site and the other sites you explored about buying your first telescope:

What kind of telescope would you suggest, and why?

Consider the choices of reflector telescopes versus refractor telescopes, primary diameter, focal length, magnification, and resolution. As you consider which telescope may be the best, keep in mind the things you want to observe, the price, portability, and so forth.

How do professional telescopes differ from amateur telescopes?

Solution

1. it is better to use the systems who are sensitive to infrared radiation.

2.reflector type considering its cost effectiveness and viewing power and portability

professional telescopes have different controlling system as the purpose for such telescope is different.
