Bickel, Tyron Young, Janelle M. Bailey, Temple University Students often encounter alternative explanations about a phenomenon. However, inconsistent with scientific practice, students may not be critically evaluative when comparing alternatives. Critical evaluation is the process of weighing connections between evidence and explanations, and we have been developing instructional scaffolds, called model-evidence link (MEL) diagrams, to facilitate critical evaluation about Earth and space science topics. MELs were originally developed by researchers at Rutgers University and we have applied their design to new topics. Our poster focuses on one of these, covering a topic related to our Solar System’s evolution: the Moon Formation MEL. In it, students critically evaluate evidence toward either a great impact or capture event in creating Earth’s Moon. We will discuss the results of a study revealing how the instructional scaffold impacts student understanding about how our Moon came to be. *The material will be based upon work supported by the NSF under Grant No. DRL-131605.

PST1A02: 8:45-9:30 a.m. Novae A Detailed Analysis of Emission Lines in Poster – Glenda Denicolo Suffolk County Community College 533 College Road Selden, NY 11784 USA glenda.denicolo@gmail.com Emission lines in the spectrum of novae are often heavily blended, even for low dispersion observations, hindering the study of the individual line behavior. We have modeled the optical emisson line spectra of nova KT Eri with using a chi-square minimization routine. Over 30 emission lines were fitted, whereas many were initially confirmed in high-resolution spectra. We have kept a constant line profile (central peak, and broad component when present) for the transitions of the same ion. The intensity of several lines was linked by transition probabilities, and case B recombination ratios. Hydrogen lines were fitted with blue, central and red gaussian components, whereas most other lines were sufficiently well fitted with single gaussians. [O III] and [Ne III] lines had the same broad profile and were modeled with four gaussians each. We study the time-evolution of several lines from day 30 to 100 after maximum for the nova KT Eri. The relation between the onset of the super-soft X-ray emission and evolution of optical spectral lines is also investigated.
