[SOLVED] Technological Methods
Part 4: Summarizing Technological Methods of Kepler and TESS Summarize, briefly (2-3 paragraphs), the planetary detection method used by the TESS and Kepler spacecraft. What are the advantages and disadvantages (challenges) of detecting exoplanets with this specific method? What has been the impact of space telescopes like TESS and Kepler on our search for and changing understanding of – exoplanets so far, in comparison to other technologies and methods used for exoplanet hunting before TESS and Kepler? (How did it change our view of what exoplanets are like?) What is the main reason or cause of such an impact, behind the TESS and Kepler missions? Part 5: Reviewing Contributions of Citizen Scientists in Planet Hunters Summarize the discoveries made by citizen scientists with Planet Hunters so far, and how they have advanced the scientific research of searching for exoplanets in our galaxy. (You need to discuss at least 2 different and specific discoveries made by them, through Planet Hunters.) Were there any discoveries, made by citizen scientists, of new types of objects and/or events that were otherwise missed by the computer software analyzing the same data, and/or TESS & Kepler team scientists? (Tip: review the Blog section of the Planet Hunters website (https://blog.planethunters.org/ ), for past and most recent discoveries.) Part 6: Personal Reflection Provide a final personal reflection (half-page minimum, 1 full page maximum, double-spaced) on your participation in this citizen science project. Some possible but not the only ones necessarily questions to consider are: ? Were there any surprises for you along the way, during this project? What were your most and least favourite parts of this project? ? How do you think your contributions to Planet Hunters may be helpful to science? ? How do you think this project (in our course) could be improved further?
