Student Involvement in Exoplanet Science (Abstract)
Abstract
(Abstract only) With the ability of small telescopes to conduct reasonably good exoplanet observations and with the "best practices" of conducting such observations now fairly well established, research-grade exoplanet observing can now be done down to the high school level. This talk will review a program that has been successful in training students to perform high-quality, exoplanet observations for the TESS Subgroup 1 and ETS in the future. The AAVSO CHOICE courses on Exoplanet Observing are a key step in their training.
