J131453.78+243554.1, or “J1314” for short, is a galaxy serendipitously discovered by NuSTAR (during an observation of IC 860) that has peculiar multiwavelength properties. It is bright in hard X-rays with a previously ...

A post-ABG (asymptotic giant branch) star is a very luminous late stage in the evolution of a low-to intermediate mass star. A post-AGB star is found in a specific region on the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. The HR ...

A post-starburst galaxy is a type of galaxy that has recently ceased star formation and is thought to be in a “transition” phase between a blue, spiral galaxy to a red, elliptical galaxy. The goal of this project is to ...

There are two main types of galaxies: blue starforming galaxies and red “quiescent” galaxies. The specifics of how one type transitions to another remain unclear. However, it is likely that the supermassive black hole ...

Post-Starburst Galaxies are galaxies that recently ceased forming new stars. Forward modeling is a technique used when data is scarce by generating mock comparison data (Lanz et al., 2022). Nomenclature for noise from ...

A post-asymptotic giant branch (post-AGB) is a type of evolved star. Someday, our Sun will likely evolve into this type of star. We expect to find post-AGB stars in shocked post-starburst galaxies (SPOGs) because SPOGs ...

Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are galaxies that have gone through a period of rapid star formation followed by a quiescent period of little to no star formation. PSBs are classified by their spectral features, specifically, ...

Goal: Improve coadd code, create photometry code, observe 1 or more supernovae.
