UR #14: Tully-Fisher and Sauron
What are these Sauron-like double-horned profiles? Read this week’s undergrad research feature to find out!
UR #13: RR Lyrae and OSCAAR the Exoplanet-Analyzer
This month’s undergraduate research post features an analysis of distance-indicating RR Lyrae stars, and transiting exoplanet science using a code called OSCAAR.
UR #12: Planet-Building Disks and RESOLVE’d AGN
This month’s undergraduate research post features an intriguingly-shaped disk harboring planets, and a study to unmask sneaky, previously-misclassified AGN.
UR #11: Our Galactic Magnetic Field and Stellar Autopsies
This month’s undergraduate research post features pulsars as a probe of our galaxy’s magnetic field, and the possibility of asymmetries in supernovae associated with gamma-ray bursts.
UR #10: Star Formation and Associations
The undergrad research posts continue! This month’s post discusses the movement of stars over time, and the influence of galactic bars in triggering star formation.
UR #9: Clusters Galore!
The undergrad research posts continue! This month’s post discusses two types of clusters: clusters of galaxies, and open clusters of stars in our own galaxy.
