Jim Kaler's comprehensive guide to stellar spectra covers everything from absorption and emission lines to the Doppler effect and spectral classification, all richly illustrated with images of rainbows, nebulae, and spectrograms. Part of Kaler's broader STARS educational project hosted at the University of Illinois, this deep-dive reference explains how astronomers decode the physical and chemical nature of stars through the light they emit.
https://qsl.net/ve6ria
A QSL.net-hosted page belonging to the amateur radio operator with callsign VE6RIA, a Canadian ham radio licensee. The site appears to be a personal radio operator page on the popular QSL.net hosting platform for ham radio enthusiasts.
http://astro.vaporia.com/start/transientastronomy.html
A detailed reference page from the astro.vaporia.com astrophysics index, covering transient astronomy and the study of short-lived astronomical phenomena such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, and gravitational wave events. It catalogs major sky surveys like ZTF, Pan-STARRS, and the Rubin Observatory, making it a useful entry point for anyone exploring time-domain astronomy.
https://hfpropagation.com/
A continually updated reference tool for ham radio operators providing usable HF propagation frequencies and forecasts from major U.S. base cities to regions around the world. Color-coded charts, ionograms, and geomagnetic and solar data make it a practical real-time resource for planning amateur radio contacts.
