These teams worked on their own and presented posters at the 2019 Winter AAS.
For me as an educator, it was really rejuvenating to come out here (and bring a student with) and dive into actual astronomical research.
I can't wait to get started, and neither can my students!
Some of my students will be benefiting directly [from my AAS trip] as I currently have 7 students interested in being part of our research team for NITARP. My first day back from the conference I spent the class time sharing with them the exciting news regarding exoplanet research from Dr. Marcy's presentation on Monday as well as a discussion on YSOs and the likely direction that our project will take.
