This webinar explores the challenges of understanding planets transiting spotted stars and how multi-color photometry helps characterize starspots on M dwarf stars. Join Dr. Will Waalkes as he presents his research findings and methodologies, followed by an extensive Q&A session with attendees. The presentation covers key concepts in exoplanet detection and the complications introduced by stellar surface features when interpreting transit data. Learn about cutting-edge techniques astronomers use to distinguish between planetary signals and stellar activity in variable star observations. The webinar includes opening remarks by Whitney Armentor, the main presentation by Dr. Waalkes, and concludes with closing announcements from the AAVSO headquarters.
