Determining the oxygen abundances in a sample of K and M dwarfs by measuring their TiO bands. (with: George Wallerstein and Vincent Woolf)

Photometrically and spectroscopically confirmed a sample of late-M and L dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I’m working on a paper about their colors and activity properties. (with: Suzanne Hawley and the Red Army)
