Increasing accessibility in STEM classrooms through Access Talk
Today’s authors discuss one way educators can increase accessibility for disabled students in their classrooms.
Iron Abundance and the Formation of Terrestrial Exoplanets
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
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
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.
