While the science of astronomy originated centuries ago, our understanding of late-evolution stars has origins in more recent decades. The creation of NASA’s Kepler space telescope made studying such stars and their detailed set of vibrations possible. In his paper, "K2 observations of the pulsating subdwarf B stars UY Sex and V1405 Ori,” Dr. Mike Reed studies the traits … [Read more...] about Reading the stars through Kepler’s map
