Preprints and Posters

Lithium depletion in the Beta Pic Moving Group, with co-authors Jennifer Yee and Blair Reaser (both Swarthmore undergraduates). Poster presented at the Jan. 2007 AAS meeting in Seattle, WA.
Read the abstract, or view the poster on-line as an image here, or download the full-sized PDF file.
Newly-Discovered Post-T-Tauri Stars in Carina and Vela, with co-authors Katie Schlesinger, Cameron Higby-Naquin (both Swarthmore undergraduates), and Eric Mamajek (of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics). Poster presented at the Jan. 2005 AAS meeting in San Diego, CA.
Read the abstract, or view the poster on-line as an image here (Or, if you want the poster in its full 36 x 48 inch glory, here's a 1 MB PDF file, which is fairly legible when printed out from Acrobat Reader using "scale to fit" on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.)

Newly-Discovered Young, Nearby Stars, poster presented at the Jan. 2003 AAS meeting in Seattle, WA.
Read the abstract, or view the poster on-line as an image in smaller (283 kb) or slightly larger (420 kb) versions.
(Or, if you want the poster in its full 36 x 46 inch glory, here's a 337 kb PDF file, which is fairly legible when printed out from Acrobat Reader using "scale to fit" on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.)

A Systematic Survey for Nearby Young Stars, poster presented at the Jan. 2002 AAS meeting in Washington, DC.
Read the abstract, or view the poster on-line (a 267 kb GIF file).
(Or, if you want the full poster, here's a 1.1 MB PDF file. If you have the bandwidth to download it, this is actually fairly legible when printed out from Acrobat Reader using "scale to fit" on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.)
