Lily Zhao, a NASA Sagan Fellow at the University of Chicago, will speak about how astronomers are reaching for that precision at a lunch talk in Pasadena. Her focus, according to the abstract posted with Carnegie Science’s event listing, is how data-driven, machine-learning algorithms have advanced radial velocity precision and how they can shape the field’s future. Radial velocity is the part of a star’
