Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are considered to be among the most primitive objects in our Solar System. Knowledge of their primary physical properties is essential for understanding their origin and the evolution of the outer Solar System. We predi

Substellar candidates at the earliest stages: the SUCANES database

Autor: Pérez-García, A. M., Huélamo, N., García-López, A., Pérez-Martínez, R., Verdugo, E., Palau, A., De Gregorio-Monsalvo, I., Morata, O., Barrado, D., Morales-Calderón, M., Mass-Hesse, M., Bayo, A., Mauco, K., Bouy, H.

Brown dwarfs are the bridge between low-mass stars and giant planets. One way of shedding light on their dominant formation mechanism is to study them at the earliest stages of their evolution, when they are deeply embedded in their parental clouds.

Radial velocity (RV) jitter represents an intrinsic limitation on the precision of Doppler searches for exoplanets that can originate from both instrumental and astrophysical sources. We aim to determine the RV jitter floor in M dwarfs and investigat

Learning About Algorithm Auditing in Five Steps: Scaffolding How High School Youth Can Systematically and Critically Evaluate Machine Learning Applications

Autor: Morales-Navarro, Luis, Kafai, Yasmin B., Vogelstein, Lauren, Yu, Evelyn, Metaxa, Danaë

While there is widespread interest in supporting young people to critically evaluate machine learning-powered systems, there is little research on how we can support them in inquiring about how these systems work and what their limitations and implic
