Principal Investigator

Organization

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Field of Science

Astronomy and Astrophysics

Description

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.
