UR: I Spy Transits and Pulsations – Empirical Variability in White Dwarfs Using Gaia and the Zwicky Transient Facility
Today’s #UndergradResearch post by Joseph Guidry is all about searching for variable white dwarf stars!
UR: Searching for Laser Signals in Optical Stellar Spectra
Using new observations from the UVCANDELS survey, a possible link between recent star formation, merger frequency, and the size-mass evolution of massive, quiescent galaxies is investigated.
UR #33: Investigating the dark matter in M82 using the mass-to-light ratio
Today’s undergraduate research post is all about a search for dark matter in the starburst galaxy M82!
UR #31: Using electron-beam lithography to improve X-ray gratings
EBL is capable of producing gratings with high enough resolutions to be used in next-generation X-ray observatories.
UR #22: FeLoNet: Using Synthetic Training Data and a Convolutional Neural Network to Classify Quasar Spectra
Today’s undergraduate research post is on very unique quasars — and how to find them!
