Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. The subject matter should be pretty obvious - I'll be discussing and cataloging my work on my Senior Research Project (SRP).
I will be assisting Dr. Peter Milne at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory in examining the data (and the conclusions that can be drawn from it) from light echoes around two recent type Ia supernovae. The work will focus mainly on determining two things: first, whether the echoes were formed by sheets of dust in interstellar space or by dust clouds immediately surrounding the progenitor system; and second, what the results of the first question can tell us about the environment and evolution of the progenitor system.
I hope you enjoy reading about my journey!
