This activity (docx, doc, pdf) prepared by Alexander Rudolph complete the kinesthetic activity and provide step-by-step instructions 

to reproduce the main results achieved through the kinesthetic activity using the EU-HOUMW Web interface.   

A special emphasis is put on the concepts (Doppler shifts, rotations) present in the physics used to analyse HI data.
