Team Needs:
|
Python is the working language of the Aggienova team. Potential team members should already be comfortable with python. Exceptions will be made for physics majors or astronomy minors who are willing to put in the work to learn python through this project. Experience with git, website design, and statistics would also be useful for some team members. |

Description:
|
The AGGIENOVA research team studies exploding stars (supernovae) using data obtained by ground and space-based observatories, including NASA’s Swift and Hubble space telescopes. This team will use and build analysis and visualization tools for the Swift Optical Ultraviolet Supernova Archive (SOUSA) with python as the primary language. |
