IRIS Spectrograph Competition

Abstract

The goal of this project is to design and build a spectrograph and carry out a ground-based spectroscopy experiment of our team's choosing. Each team will have the 2011-12 academic year to declare a science goal, design and build their instrument, collect and analyze data, and perform some type of educational outreach. Teams will congregate May 2012 in Montana to demonstrate their instrument and their findings in a competition-style format.
