Stellar Properties
Stars tell us the history and evolution of the universe.
We learn about stars through star properties, which include Surface Gravity, Effective Temperature, and Metallicity.
Spectroscopy
Spectoscopy is currently the most effective method in finding stellar properties. However, the properties of 14,000 stars are beyond its capabilities.

Kepler Light Curves
Produced by Kepler space telescope, light curves are the brightness fluctuations of a star over time. Previously used to detect exoplanets, light curves may also contain evidence for stellar properties.
Deep Neural Network
Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It will help us identify patterns and extract hidden features from light curve data.
