The study employs a new code to test the abilities of the next generation of telescopes. As the next generation of giant, high-powered observatories starts to become operational, recent research indicates that their tools could provide scientists with an unparalleled chance to understand the weathe
, will be some of the largest ground-based telescopes ever built, and their instruments are expected to exceed the capabilities of theData collected with their powerful instruments will allow astronomers to use Doppler Imaging – a technique that can recreate 2D maps of an object’s surface – to make accurate measurements of the magnetism and chemistry of ultracool targets, or cosmic objects with temperatures less than 2700 K, such as brown dwarfs or very low-mass stars – and even some exoplanets.
Besides helping to improve our understanding of some of the most mysterious objects in the universe, having the capability to study the chemical compositions of these objects in a more precise manner also offers greater insight into the search for life on other worlds, said Michael Plummer, lead author of the study and a graduate student in astronomy at“Learning about the atmospheres of other objects outside our solar system not only informs us how Earth’s atmosphere may behave but allows...
To aid in this hunt, Plummer and Ji Wang, co-author of the study and an assistant professor of astronomy at Ohio State, previously developed a publicly available analytical code called Imber to simulate and infer the presence of surface discrepancies like magnetic star spots, cloud systems, and other atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes on distant objects.
In this study, they used the technique to estimate the scientific capabilities of various ELTs’ instruments to detect surface variations on six targets: the star of , a well-studied seven-planet system about 40 light-years from Earth, two brown dwarfs, and three exoplanets.

Machine Learning Algorithms Can Find Anomalous Needles in Cosmic HaystacksThe face of astronomy is changing. Though narrow-field point-and-shoot astronomy still matters (JWST anyone?), large wide-field surveys promise to be the powerhouses of discovery in the coming decades, especially with the advent of machine learning. A recently developed machine learning program, called ASTRONOMALY, scanned nearly four million galaxy images from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy … Continue reading 'Machine Learning Algorithms Can Find Anomalous Needles in Cosmic Haystacks'
