Project或课程论文

三人一个小组，期末提交一份课程论文（>=2000x3个汉字或英文单词）并作20min左右（4min x3 + 8QAs）的口头报告（要做ppt）。

可以4个人一组，但论文字数与报告时间相应增加。少于三人一组的，课程论文字数 不少于5000，口头报告总时间不少于15min。

作业(20%)、课程论文及口头报告(30%)以及考试(50%)加权记入最终成绩。

15. Properties of Crab nebula and its pulsar

1. A clear introduce the main line of the discoveris of the properties of the Crab (both the nebular and the pulsar). During doing this, some insightful thoughts on the making use of the historical observations; they are valuable to us due to the time span.

2. (equally important) some results of modern astronomy, esp. about the properties of the Crab pulsar. E.g., 2008Sci...321.1183D (Polarized Gamma-Ray Emission from the Crab); arXiv:0809.1292 . Also popular material, like the NASA pictures as described in
