Summary:
Conducted undergraduate research at Cuesta College under physics professor Dr. Eickemeyer, researching binary star systems. The primary goal was to prove or disprove an unknown binary system based on comparing the orbital patterns of the two stars. Using past data on Stella Doppie, and taking pictures of the chosen star system using Loc Cumbres Observatory telescopes, my team and I were able to contribute to the data points of the star system, and publish our findings.Â
