Abstract

Astronomers cannot travel to distant stars and galaxies, but they learn about these objects by analyzing the light that reaches Earth. Spectral fingerprints encoded within that light reveal the temperatures, chemical composition, density, and motions of objects throughout the cosmos. Turning these observations into scientific discoveries requires sophisticated computer models that connect the observed light with the…
