2005 Research Day

 

 

E=MC2 members Amanda Brown, Lyle Nevin, and Dustin Robinson took advantange of our access to Kitt Peak Observatory in Arizona to explore the universe. They carried on the tradition of competitive research presentations through their work using Stellar Spectroscopy. Amanda and Lyle's research consisted of classification of stars while Dustin's work focused on developing mathematical formulas to calculate the temperature of the stars that Amanda and Lyle were studying. The three worked together during their research and illustrated the beauty of what team work is all about. Thanks for the inspiration gang.
