UR: Using Machine Learning to Identify Transients in the DESI Survey
Today’s undergraduate post talks about how to use machine learning to find transients in galactic spectra!
Astrobites at AAS 237: Day 2
We report on Day 2 of the virtual winter AAS meeting.
Meet the AAS Keynote Speakers: Prof. Christopher Kochanek
Thanks to astronomical surveys, we now know our night sky is constantly alight with variable objects. Tune in to Prof. Christopher Kochanek’s Dannie Heineman Prize talk at #AAS237 to learn about how small telescopes can change the way we observe our rapidly changing universe!
How Did Distant Quasars Grow?
Today’s paper presents a systematic study of accretion physics of high redshift quasars.
Quasar Outflows and Feedback Efficiency
Today’s paper presents the physical properties of outflows in type 2 quasars and their role in AGN feedback.
UR #28: Photometry and Analysis of a Sample of Quasars on Archival Yerkes Observatory Photographic Plates
Today’s guest post looks at the work of undergraduate physics student Buduka Ogonor on using astronomical photographic plates to study quasars.
