* During the subsequent analysis the astronomer can move through the data and study different views of
the object at different wavelengths, just like tuning a television to different channels at different frequencies.
(Note, by the way, that what is true for a radiating
object is that the amount of radiation emitted
AT ANY PARTICULAR
WAVELENGTH is an increasing function of the temperature, a fact that is not always obvious because people often tend to normalize the emission curves when showing emission curves for
different temperatures on the same graph.)
