Using Linked Scatter Plots to Determine the Presence of Rare Stellar Remnants
POSTER
Abstract
There are only eight confirmed Low Accretion Rate Polars (LARP) known at the time. Finding and characterizing more of these rare stellar remnants will help us determine their evolution. We have developed a program that uses Linked Scatter Plots to make candidate lists of stars that exhibit properties similar to these known LARPs. We use SDSS, WISE, GALEX, and X-MM Newton observations of the confirmed LARPs to automatically create a set of filter conditions to sort through large surveys and identify candidate LARPS. We will discuss our determination of useful filters, present our initial candidate list, and discuss follow-up work.
