Physics

Scientific paper

This experiment was designed to trace the magnitude and plot the light curve of a variable star candidate to determine if it was a variable star, and if so, what type. In order to collect data, I took approximately 150 images of the suspected variable using the Telescopes In Education (TIE) Observatory, located at Mt. Wilson, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Observatory, located at Table Mountain. Each observatory was equipped with a 24" telescope, a liquid nitrogen-cooled ST-6 or AT200 CCD camera, and a filter wheel for my research. After rectifying my data, I calculated the magnitude of the variable candidate in each image. Then, I plotted the magnitude against the Julian time at which each exposure was taken to derive the light curve. At the conference, I will discuss the methods underlying my data analysis and what the data shows in relation to the star's variable candidacy.
