 After five years of lots of work, it's almost done! There WILL be a paper.  


M dwarf Infrared RV Planet Searches

 We published a cool paper on the discovery of a planet around AU Mic.

Been helping find some other planets ...

Tabby's Star (Boyajian's Star)

We have been helping Dr. Boyajian figure out what's going on  (see paper). Our next paper will discuss the impact of its now confirmed M dwarf companion.  


Direct Imaging

 2021 - We just got some funding to play with simulated Starshade date. Should be fun.

 Farzaneh Zohrabi has completed her Master Thesis involving investigating the relationship between planet orbit obliquity and stellar companions

Stellar Variability as it Relates to Exoplanet Surveys

 

My research group is studying the photometry of nearby M dwarfs from CTIO/SMARTS, Mearth and Kepler to determine the photometric precision available with these programs and whether photometry can be used as a predictor of RV jitter for nearby M dwarfs.

Kepler Astrometry

 We were funded. We tried. We published.
