Analysis and Comparison of Light Intensity Spectra Using Wavelet and Fourier Analysis.

This is a continuation of research on the analysis of light intensity spectra of stars that began in the Fall 2017. Using Fourier Analysis and Wavelet analysis, both are typically used for analyzing stellar light curves, a comparison of the recorded light spectra can be made between a space telescope and a ground telescope. Long term, continuous time series of light intensities are needed for the analysis of astronomical phenomena such as the orbit of previously unseen planets. Since the space telescope time series records are sometimes missing data, it has been suggested that land based telescopes can be used to fill in the missing data. This poster presents the comparison of data collected and analyzed with Fourier Analysis and Wavelet analysis.
