Dangerous Questions in Astronomy Education
Michael Fitzgerald, Rachel Freed, Dan Reichart +63
As astronomy enters an era defined by global telescope networks, petabyte-scale surveys, and powerful computational tools, the longstanding goals of astronomy education, particular…
Utilizing a global network of telescopes to update the ephemeris for the highly eccentric planet HD 80606 b and to ensure the efficient scheduling of JWST
Kyle A. Pearson, Chas Beichman, Benjamin J. Fulton +37
The transiting planet HD80606b undergoes a 1000-fold increase in insolation during its 111-day orbit due to it being highly eccentric (e=0.93). The planet's effective temperature i…
Searching for Transit Timing Variations and Fitting a New Ephemeris to Transits of TrES-1 b
Paige Yeung, Quinn Perian, Peyton Robertson +4
Based on the light an exoplanet blocks from its host star as it passes in front of it during a transit, the mid-transit time can be determined. Periodic variations in mid-transit t…
Studies of Exoplanets with Candidate TOI 717.01 and Confirmed HAT-P-3b
Sujay Nair, Krithi Koodli, Elliott Chalcraft +1
Images of the exoplanets TOI 717.01, Qatar-8 b, and HAT-P-3 b were requested in the w-filter from the Las Cumbres Observatory 0.4-meter telescopes. Of these requests, images were t…
Analysis of HAT-P-23 b, Qatar-1 b, WASP-2 b, and WASP-33 b with an Optimized EXOplanet Transit Interpretation Code
Sujay Nair, Jonathan Varghese, Kalée Tock
The ability for citizen scientists to analyze image data and search for exoplanets using images from small telescopes has the potential to greatly accelerate the search for exoplan…
PRASSE -- The Pulsar Automated Search Script Ensemble
Gurmehar Singh, Martin Nikolov, Jake North +1
The search for pulsars produces a massive amount of data which needs to be processed and analyzed. The limited speed of manual observation necessitates the involvement of large num…
Utilizing Small Telescopes Operated by Citizen Scientists for Transiting Exoplanet Follow-up
Robert T. Zellem, Kyle A. Pearson, Ethan Blaser +41
Due to the efforts by numerous ground-based surveys and NASA's Kepler and TESS, there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of transiting exoplanets ideal for atmospheric characteriz…
