  • Senior Physics capstone presentations will take place Monday, May 6th starting at 2pm in Rieke 103B. 

    2024 Physics Capstone SymposiumSenior Physics capstone presentations will take place Monday, May 6th starting at 2pm in Rieke 103B.  2:10pm Julian Kop – “Using Python to Mathematically Model Variable Star Light Curves.” Constructing light curve plots of stellar brightness can describe various stellar properties and the systems these stars reside. Variable star light curves possess unique trends and modeling these light curves can denote long-term behavior and changes to variability. However
