\begin{abstract}
In this experiment we studied something very important and measured the value of another thing. The velocity we determine is $V=45 \pm 3\ \mathrm{km.s}^{-1}$, this is not in agreement with values measured by \cite{Author2010}. This might be due to some problems in our experiments, we could improve this by doing something.

\section{Introduction}
Galaxies are very interesting. Measuring their properties is very important.
We even have an equation (see equation \ref{eq1})
\begin{equation} \label{eq1} % the label is used to reference the equation
V=\frac{8\pi a^{-5}}{3\lambda}
\end{equation}
where a is the distance to the Sun, $\lambda$ is something else.... Don't forget to
explain what each variable means the first time that you introduce it.
This is also where you explain the aims of the experiment.
\section{Method}
Describe what you did (not the names of files and directories of course, but all the important steps that bring you to the results). Why did you do this? did you have to make some choices along the way --- explain them. Did it not work well the first time, and you had to improve something? write about it
Include diagrams/photos of the experimental setup (see Figure \ref{fig1}), or screenshots highlighting important steps of the process.

\section{Results and Analysis}
In this section you will need to show your results. Use tables and
figures (long tables can be put in an Appendix). Table~\ref{table1} is an example.
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\caption{Every table needs a caption.}
\label{table1}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{c}{distance (m)} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{V (km s$^-1$)} \\
\hline
0.0044151 & 0.0030871 \\
0.0021633 & 0.0021343 \\
0.0003600 & 0.0018642 \\
0.0023831 & 0.0013287 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Here explain how you determine uncertainties for different
measured values.
If in the process of data analysis you found any noticeable systematic
error(s), you have to explain them in this section of the report.
\section{Discussion and Conclusion}
Here you briefly summarize your findings. Do your results match published values? If not, what could the source(s) of errors? How could the experiment be improved?
