Resources currently sorted by: Title (A-Z) AstroGrav (Windows)  | | Description: | Software that allows you to study how astronomical objects move and interact under the force of gravity. It features interactive 3D graphics which allow you to move around within an astronomical system that you are viewing, while watching how it evolves with the passage of time.
A wide variety of sample files are provided, including Solar System, space mission, and abstract systems, and these enable you to experiment with AstroGrav without having to go to the trouble of entering your own data. The comprehensive editing facilities allow you to either create your own astronomical systems, or to modify existing ones, and provide you with an almost endless scope for experimentation and investigation.
AstroGrav can be used to visualize and understand the following aspects of gravitational and astronomical systems:

 AstroSolar | | Description: | Didactic software which explains in a concise manner the dynamics and constitution of the Solar System Planets, Moons and Sun. It includes explanatory texts and graphics illustrating the definition of the bodies and their properties (also including/explaining subjects such as Eclipses, Galaxies, Stars, Comets, Meteors, Asteroids etc...) A list of constellations classified and with their names both in Latin and Portuguese is furthermore offered.
Useful to teach Astronomy at an entry level, to audiences of youngsters or grown ups who never add contact with the topic before. | | | Version: | 1 | | Filesize: | 3.34 MB | | Added on: | 09-Aug-2003 | | Downloads: | 690 | | Rating: | 10.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| AstroSolar | | Description: | AstroSolar is a didactic software, for presentation of the Astronomy for those that are not so familiarized with some of the basic concepts of this wonderful science.
The software possesses information on the several bodies of the Solar system, besides information on the several concepts approached in the study of the astronomy.
A guide of celestial observation, based on the constellations, is also available in this software.
The texts and menus of the software are in the Portuguese language, and this software was developed by Márlon Pessanha, Sabrina Cozendey, Victor Hugo Oliveira, Marcelo Souza.

 ChView | | Description: | ChView is intended as a three-dimensional aid to: viewing some of the nearer stars of our galaxy; navigating the distances between them; and accessing basic information.
Data files provide nearly 8,500 stars and other celestial objects believed to lie within 150 light-years (ly) of Earth, in a 300-ly diameter sphere.

| Computer-based Astronomy labs | | Description: | These Excel spreadsheets include two experiences intended for use in lower-level undergraduate non-calculus based Astronomy lab courses (non-Science majors).
The interactive labs are focused on: Kepler's Third Law and Stellar Models.
Each lab gathers information about the students grouped and creates a pre-formatted report that can be saved as HTML, printed or emailed to the instructors in the end.
They can also be used by single individuals looking for an introduction to these subjects.
Note: Requires MS Excel 97 (98 for the Macintosh version) or later. | | | Filesize: | 2.64 MB | | Added on: | 10-Sep-2003 | | Downloads: | 506 | | Rating: | 6.0 (1 Vote) | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Conversor mrM | | Description: | «Conversor mrM» (Converter of Distances and Magnitudes mrM) is a visual basic tool, including four modules, that allows the conversion between the several units representative of astronomical distances (parsec, light year, astronomical unit and km), as well as the determination of the values of apparent (m) and absolute (M) visual magnitudes of the several types of celestial bodies and the comparison of the respective apparent brightnesses. Starting with M you can further calculate the relation L/Ls (luminosity compared with that of the Sun) and vice versa.
Includes extensive Help files and documentation explaining the concepts involved and the calculations made.

| E.T. Counter | | Description: | E.T. Counter roughly calculates the number of inhabited planets and advanced civilizations that currently exist in our galaxy, based on your own specifications and assumptions. It relies on estimated percentages, probabilities and average values.
The algorithm is inspired by Isaac Asimov's book "Extraterrestrial Civilizations" and the Green Bank formula (mainly created by F. D. Drake).

| G-LenS | | Description: | «The aim of this project was to obtain and use a knowledge of gravitational lensing to develop a computer model to simulate lensing effects on distant sources(...) it has succeeded (...) in producing a working simulation of a point mass gravitational lens system - which can not only simulate basic lens theory, but can also reproduce the lensing effects of an, approximated, observed system.
It is hoped this computer model can help others to understand the theory and observations of gravitational lensing. Used as part of a lecture course, this program may help to convey basic principles which might otherwise be difficult to visualise.» | | | Filesize: | 48.68 Kb | | Added on: | 04-Sep-2003 | | Downloads: | 332 | | Category: | Windows / Educational | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
| Galactic Viewer | | Description: | «A simple application that allows you to view the Milky Way Galaxy from overhead and zoom in and out. Produces a rather detailed output with scale bar, various telescope objects and depicts the galaxy´s spiral arms.»
