DEXTERS Lab Group
(Dwarf & EXoplaneT Exploration and Remote Sensing)
Welcome to the website for the "DEXTERS" lab group in the School of Earth & Space Exploration (SESE) at Arizona State University (ASU). As the acronym suggests, we study the atmospheres of extra-solar planets, brown dwarfs, and low mass stars using a variety of theoretical and observational methods. What is DEXTER? Dexter is our group mascot, Dr. Line's ferocious, stubborn, and overly rambunctious corgi.
