Apparent Magnitude
How bright a star looks from Earth Represented as r0
Backwards scale Apparent magnitude of the sun is -26.74

Absolute Magnitude
Absolute is how bright a star would look if it was 10 pc away▪ Pc = 3.26 ly = = 19.2 trillion miles▪ 10 pc = 192 trillion miles
Also a backwards scale Absolute magnitude of the Sun is 4.83 SCR 0740-4257 would have basically the
same absolute and apparent

Dust
Dust makes everything redder Most dust is assumed to be less than
100 pc from plane Cobe

Previous Assumptions
The number of stars above and below the galactic midplane should be the same, because gravity would “smooth out” any large asymmetries

My purpose for the summer
Look at the data from the paper “Galactoseismology: Discovery of Vertical Waves in the Galactic Disc” in more detail Look at color measurements Break up data into smaller chunks Figure out if a more detailed paper is
needed

Discussion of Results/Implications
1. Dust Not been properly accounted for Dust makes things seem farther away▪ Hidden dust on the bottom▪ Not comparing equal boxes
2. Different stellar population Could have come from a satellite
galaxy ▪ w/higher Metallicity/ ▪ older population▪ Passed through bottom
