Currently studying how 2 fungi colonies grow in a controlled environment using regolith and stimulant soil. Using centrifuge machine.
Will be presented at AIAA with the result of becoming a payload to reach microgravity.
Researcher
Kitt Peak Observatory
05.2024 - Current
Measuring the rotation period and track changes in pulsation modes of HD 122970, a rapidly oscillating Ap star
Fourier analysis of the light curve created using the Period04 software which analyzes large astronomical time series
Differential photometry to correct for variations in atmospheric transparency which can outweigh intrinsic variations
Light curves were constructed, and pulsation modes of the star were measured to confirm the period hasn't changed
