CRA Seminar: Dr. John Christian
There will be an in-person viewing of the online seminar held in the CRA Visualization Lab (Boggs 1-44). Title: Astrometric Methods for Star-Based Navigation Abstract: Humans have used stars for navigation since antiquity. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that star sightings were amongst the first observables used to navigate exploration spacecraft (both crewed … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Dr. John Christian"
CRA Seminar: Yubo Su (Princeton University)
Bogg 1-44 VizLabTitle: Tilted Planets: Exciting Exoplanetary Obliquities via Spin-Orbit Resonances Abstract: The obliquity of a planet, the tilt between its spin and orbital axes, reflects the evolutionary history of the planet. … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Yubo Su (Princeton University)"
