Tri-color images were produced to show the color gradients across the galaxy. The color prominence can be correlated to the age of stars in various regions of the galaxy. Our data showed that the spiral arms are most prominent in blue wavelengths. This conclusion agrees with the density-wave theory.
Solar emission occurs constantly but peaks occasionally during solar flares and other phenomena.
Data was also taken from other professional observatories to show that peaks, and not systematic errors, were detected. By comparing the data taken with BURT and other observatories, it can be seen that in fact BURT is observing the sun correctly, as the relative intensity from day to day were correct. Data taken from an x-ray observatory also showed a peak at this time as well, therefore showing a correlation between various wavelengths of emission. The velocities along a line of sight longitude were calculated via the Doppler shifted frequency spectra, centered around 1420.4 MHz. The spectra of velocity shifts over the entire longitude range allowed for the distribution of neutral hydrogen to be determined as a function of galactic longitude.
