I have dubbed Ross Ito, Taylor Nakamura, and Dane Oshiro "The Men In Black". They have started showing up at the Science and Engineering fairs dressed in black and looking sharp. The students have been working with the assistance of Avi Shporer, BJ Foulton, and J. D. Armwstong with data from the Faulkes Telescope North, the Faulkes Telescope South, and the Sedgwick observatory. The students, who attend Maui High School, have been studying exoplanets -- investigating new techniques for detecting orbital variations.
This week the students have been attending the Hawai`i State Science and Engineering Fair. Their work has been well received and they were invited to attend the International Science and Engineering Fair. Watch out ISEF, here come The Men In Black!
