This project discusses the significant role that stars play in the Universe, providing vast sources of light and energy. The study of stars has been a central topic in astronomy for centuries, with researchers aiming to better understand their properties such as mass, size, temperature, and luminosity. Through observations and measurements, scientists have developed a comprehensive understanding of stars, helping us gain a better understanding of the Universe as a whole. The investigation of star properties continues to be an essential area of study, with new insights being continually uncovered through advanced research and technologies.
This project utilizes a comprehensive dataset on the properties of stars in our galaxy, offering information on various features to facilitate an in-depth study of stars. Thorough analysis and visualization of the dataset will yield a better understanding of star properties. The objective of this project is to learn R and its packages as a student at the University of Applied Sciences of Howest.
The following packages were used in this project:
- Hmisc
- ggplot2
- ggrepel
- rgl
- fmsb
- dplyr
- grid
- cowplot
The dataset used in this project can be found on Kaggle and GitHub under the name vincentarelbundock.
The project involved the usage of various tools for analysis and visualization of the dataset. The tools used in this project include:
- ggplot: For creating publication-quality graphs and charts in R
- rgl: For creating interactive 3D visualizations
- plotd: For plotting density curves
- radarchart: For creating radar charts
The investigation of star properties continues to be a central topic in astronomy, with new insights being continually uncovered through advanced research and technologies. This project has utilized a comprehensive dataset and various R packages to analyze and visualize star properties, offering valuable insights into their characteristics. Through this project, we hope to gain a better understanding of the Universe as a whole.
