Enhancing Observations From the Solar System to Exoplanets
Location
GUEST SPEAKER: Emily Martin, National Science Foundation Astronomy and Astrophysics Fellow, University of California, Santa Cruz
VIRTUAL ASTRONOMY TALK: Join us as Emily Martin describes the Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSPEC) instrument upgrade, which was completed in December 2018, just in time to observe the fly-by of a near-Earth comet. Dr. Martin will discuss details of the NIRSPEC upgrade, from the new detectors and optics to the repairs of 20-year old parts. She’ll present some of the exciting new science being done with NIRSPEC, including observations of comets, solar system planets, exoplanets, and more.
