During Jared’s fellowship, he will design and implement sophisticated techniques for imaging exoplanets in the habitable zone of nearby stars, using both MagAO/Clio, MagAO/VisAO, and LBT instrumentation. Read the press release here and here.
Jared will continue at the University of Arizona where he has access to the telescopes and instrumentation he needs for this work. Here is further information about Jared’s project:
It is wonderful for the MagAO project to continue getting this recognition for the great strides our instrument is making in exoplanet research. Congratulations, Jared, and welcome to the Sagan Fellows family!
