NSF Graduate Research Fellowship

Please join our director, Buell Jannuzi in congratulating Benjamin Rackham, newly awarded an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Ben’s proposed research, entitled “Strange New Worlds: Exploring the Super-Earth / Hot Neptune Transition through Transmission Spectroscopy”, uses the Magellan and MMT telescopes to study the atmospheric properties of low-mass exoplanets. By pushing the envelope of ground-based transmission spectroscopy, his observations will set the stage for the detailed characterization of the low-mass exoplanets NASA’s TESS satellite will discover in the years ahead.
