Undergraduate Research in the Time of COVID: TESS Follow-Up Observations at Austin College's Adams Observatory

Description

The TESS Follow-Up Observing Program (TFOP) provides an extraordinary opportunity for undergraduates to gain experience in astronomy research.  Austin College is a small liberal arts college in Texas with a strong track record of undergraduate scientific research, and the Adams Observatory at Austin College has delivered TFOP Sub-Group 1 (SG1) photometric observations since 2018.  However, the global COVID-19 pandemic placed unique challenges on our exoplanet research program, forcing a completely remote experience in 2020 and a hybrid environment in 2021.  Here we report results from our 2020-21 TFOP research filled with verified planet candidates, false positives, and rewarding collaborations in the time of COVID.
