Registration Link

On November 14th at 2pm Eastern Time, we will meet on Zoom with Caroline Huang, a researcher at Harvard who intends to use some of the Project PHaEDRA notebooks for her research! She is interested in studying variable stars that change brightness over decade-long timescales. She has requested two notebooks which we have moved up in the queue and will soon appear on the Transcription Center Though dense, these notebooks capture the final reduced data of stellar brightnesses observed in the 1870s, information that can be used to extend the modern record. These reduced data are particularly useful because historical observations can be difficult to calibrate using the information available at the present day. She will talk about her research and some tips for how to deal with the notebooks' dense tables. You can register for the meeting here. We hope to see you there!
