PHYSICS REFERENCE LINKS

 
  • NIST ONLINE REFERENCE DATABASES:    all sorts of physical and chemical data online from the National Institute of Standards and Technology.  Spectroscopic data, half lives, thermodynamic data, energy levels, etc. The latest.... continuously updated.
  • THE DIGITAL SKY SURVEY: at the Space Telescope Science Institute. Get a picture of any part of the sky, knowing the name or the position of the object.
  • SMITHSONIAN PHYSICAL TABLES:   this classic reference source comprises 901 tables of general interest to scientists and engineers, and of particular interest to those involved with physics in its larger sense." The downloadable tables include general physics constants, constants for temperature measurement, the blackbody and its radiant energy, temperature characteristics by material, latent heat, thermal properties of gases, acoustics, geomagnetism, and many more.
