The Great Escape! Extreme-UV Grids for K-Type Stars
Exemplary research for a poster presented at the January 2023 meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
Lori works on modeling the Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV) spectra of stars systems that could contain exoplanets in the habitable zone. She also determines radii of directly imaged exoplanets and has also been working on completing a large grid of EUV spectra that will eventually be implemented into a searchable database for the science community. She hopes that her work will help locate potential planetary targets for future studies.
