Increasing accessibility in STEM classrooms through Access Talk

by Ali Crisp | Jul 21, 2022 | Accessibility, Daily Paper Summaries

Today’s authors discuss one way educators can increase accessibility for disabled students in their classrooms.

Iron Abundance and the Formation of Terrestrial Exoplanets

Iron Abundance and the Formation of Terrestrial Exoplanets

by Ali Crisp | Jan 20, 2022 | Daily Paper Summaries

There are still a lot of unknowns when it comes to extrasolar planet formation. Today’s authors take a look at a group of known terrestrial exoplanets to see if they can find a correlation between the planets’ compositions and the chemical abundances of their host stars.

Ecology to Astrobiology: Modeling the Habitability of Other Worlds

Ecology to Astrobiology: Modeling the Habitability of Other Worlds

by Ali Crisp | Oct 16, 2021 | Daily Paper Summaries

The field of ecology already has standardized models for determining a region’s habitability. How can astrobiologists use these models to determine habitability beyond Earth?

In-“creasing” Exomoon  Candidates Through Folding

In-“creasing” Exomoon Candidates Through Folding

by Ali Crisp | Sep 9, 2021 | Daily Paper Summaries

Lightcurve folding is frequently used to make signals in the data clearer. Today’s author describes a novel way to use the folding method to pick out exomoon signals from exoplanet transit lightcurves.

A Star Askew: A Potential Cause of the Misalignment of a Star and Its Planets

A Star Askew: A Potential Cause of the Misalignment of a Star and Its Planets

by Ali Crisp | Apr 13, 2021 | Daily Paper Summaries

When the rotation of a star is misaligned from the orbits of its planets, astronomers often attribute the misalignment to planetary dynamics. In the case of K2-290 A, today’s authors instead attribute its misalignment to its stellar companion.
