Over the 2023 summer, I worked in the University of Texas Austin REU program. During this time, I studied under Dr. Dominique Segura-Cox and Professor Stella Offner, on our project "Studying Infall Towards 10 Class 0/I Protostars Using ALMA Data and FERIA" I worked on generating protostellar models using FERIA by Yoko Oya, comparing the chi2 of the model image cubes to ALMA data, and then analyzing the results. Below is a poster I made for the REU program, which goes over some of the methodology and an example result for one of the 10 protostars I looked at. Future work will include 2 papers, as well as a AAS conference poster.
My PosterI was able to present my research at the 243rd AAS meeting in January 2024. For the meeting, I modified my poster to the iPoster format used by the meeting, as well as added information about more than just 1 protostar. The results are still preliminary, but this shows off our process being applied to a collection of protostars. To see the poster I made, follow this link to view the iPoster.
