At Stars Meeting at Flatiron, Wolfgang Kerzendorf (NYU) showed a nice demo of an idea we have been kicking around, which is to use augmented reality to visualize data in the space. It was just a demo, but it was promising! After that, Rocio Kiman (CUNY) showed her work on M-dwarf and L-dwarf age indicators and their inter-relations. She showed that flaring dwarfs tend to be larger in radius, which might be evidence of having magnetic pressure changing their structures.
In the afternoon, I discussed NASA TESS proposal ideas with Tyler Pritchard (NYU) and Maryam Modjaz (NYU), who are interested in using TESS to do supernova and explosive-transient science. I was planning on doing something with the CPM that was developed by Dun Wang (formerly NYU) for making image differences in TESS-like time-domain data. We tentatively decided to join forces, and we will properly decide tomorrow.
