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 #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 #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.
