Utilizing Machine Learning to Predict Host Stars and the Key Elemental Abundances of Small Planets
Amílcar R. Torres-Quijano, Natalie R. Hinkel, Caleb H. Wheeler +3
Stars and their associated planets originate from the same cloud of gas and dust, making a star's elemental composition a valuable indicator for indirectly studying planetary compo…
CanariCam Mid-Infrared Drift Scanning: Improved Sensitivity and Spatial Resolution
Amílcar R. Torres-Quijano, Christopher Packham, Sergio Fernandez Acosta
Ground-based mid-infrared (MIR) astronomical observations require the removal of the fast time variable components of (a) sky/background variation and (b) array background. Typical…
Mid-Infrared Drift Scanning Up The SNR Slope
Christopher Packham, Amílcar R. Torres-Quijano, Sergio Fernandez Acosta
Mid-infrared (MIR) observations are typically accomplished from the ground through oscillating the secondary mirror a few times a second. This chopping serves to remove the fast ti…
