This is the course website for "Special Topics in Observational Astrophysics" for 2018 Fall. This course is functionally equivalent to the THCA Student Seminar series held in the past two semesters (2017F, 2018S). This semester, THCA students select from a list of topics under the theme of "Major Astronomical Projects" II (as a continuation from the 2018 Spring Student Seminar), and take turns to give 30-minutes presentations. The audience will provide feedback. The talk schedule is listed below and is updated as the semester proceeds.
