Toolkits

The Toolkits are split up in two parts, an Astronomical Toolkit and a Mathematical Toolkit. The Astronomical Toolkit contains information on astronomical concepts like magnitudes, colour and luminosity. The Mathematical Toolkit introduces concepts like the small-angle approximation and provides a box with the most used astronomical units and the conversion factors to other units. We offer the Toolkits as on-line version or as a pdf-file for screen-viewing or printing. For teachers who would like to use the individual images from the exercise, we have posted those below. There is a choice between different resolutions.

To get a printed version or a CD-ROM with PDF-files and images, please contact one of the contact persons.
