Astrophysics 3rd Year Field Trip 2009

In September 2009 the 3rd year undergraduate Astrophysics class went to Sutherland to do their spectroscopy practical using the 1.9-m (Radcliffe) Telescope. The students (Andrew Ward, Thabo Maloka and Mpati Ramatsoku) obtained redshifts of galaxies under the guidance of their lecturer Prof RC Kraan-Korteweg and supervisors of K von Maltitz (Prof RC Kraan-Korteweg and A/Prof P Woudt). This data goes towards the masters research project of K von Maltitz and complements the work done on large-scale structure in the Zone of Avoidance.
