Starting our project and our roles in the project


Today, at 1:30pm, we will be using the Southern Faulkes Telescope(pictured on the left) to work on our project microlensing. We are very excited about this. We will now explain our roles in the project.

Basically, we will all participate in researching background information for the project. However, when it comes to our blog we will each do tasks which are suited to our strengths. Ciarán Coen and David Mooney will use their I.T. skills to maintain, manage and design our blog. Niamh Butler Thornton and Clara Sherry will write the blog entries and are in correspondence with Dr. Gregg Hallinan, Mike Ryder and Deirdre Herbert. They will also arrange our group meeting times, and make sure that we book the telescope for times when the school computer lab is free.

We will all be involved in using the telescope, but we don't yet know who will be typing the actual commands.

As a team we work well together and our strengths complement each other greatly.
we hope to post another blog soon with our results from later today.
