OSDF project

Physical sciences

The goal of this project is to generate light curves from the TESS space telescope for every bright star (TESS magnitude < 16) within 500 pc of Earth. I will use these light curves to measure stellar rotation periods for as many of these stars as possible. By measuring stellar rotation periods, I can identify young stars close to Earth, find new groups of young stars, and create a list of young stars around which to search for planets.
