Explore stellar phenomena through time domain astronomy in this 57-minute webinar that examines how measuring changes in stellar light output across different timescales reveals crucial information about star behavior and exoplanet systems. Learn how astronomers detect and analyze various stellar phenomena including rotation patterns and dynamics of developing exoplanetary systems by studying light variations over time. Discover how time domain studies provide unique access to close-in stellar regions that are otherwise impossible to observe directly due to vast distances. The presentation by Ann Marie Cody covers the fundamental principles of stellar photometry and its applications in modern astronomy, followed by an interactive question and answer session addressing specific aspects of stellar variability research and observational techniques.
