Tim’s research focuses on detecting exoplanets and developing models of stellar activity to help distinguish planetary signals from the host stars. Specifically, he uses the Sun as a test case to build better models of stellar activity, which will later be applied to non-solar targets.
A paper on Detection Limits of Low-mass, Long-period Exoplanets Using Gaussian Processes Applied to HARPS-N Solar Radial Velocities has been published in the Astronomical Journal!
A paper on Estimating Magnetic Filling Factors From Simultaneous Spectroscopy and Photometry: Disentangling Spots, Plage, and Network has been posted in the Arxiv!
