Analysis and Comparison of Light Intensity Spectra Using Wavelet and Fourier Analysis

POSTER

Abstract

This poster demonstrates our research on analyzing the light intensity spectra of stars with data provided by the Kepler Space Telescope. We analyzed the stellar light curves using Fourier Analysis and Wavelet Analysis. Continuous data of the light spectra intensities are used for the analysis of astronomical phenomena such as discovering the orbit of previously unseen planets. We are looking at various phenomena with stars and comparing the two techniques and seeing which one is more efficient and accurate. This poster presents the comparison of data collected and analyzed with Fourier Analysis and Wavelet analysis.
