Spectroscopy Simulator
About
This is an early prototype of a set of simulations of various spectroscopic exercises targeted for use in an introductory Astronomy course. Right now, the basic mechanics for determining temperature from modeled blackbody spectra and determining composition from modeling emission spectra is in place.
Future goals include providing tutorial materials and videos, simulating absorption spectra, and modeling light shifting from the Doppler Effect so that users/students can practice calculating radial velocity.
I will be evolving and expanding this tool in the coming months. Please feel free to leave any comments you have on what I have built already, or what you'd like to see included in the future. I welcome your input.
