CEHW at Kepler & K2 Science Conference IV

CEHW at Kepler & K2 Science Conference IV

This week, over 270 researchers gathered at NASA Ames Research Center for the final Kepler & K2 Science Conference to discuss the latest results coming fron NASA’s Kepler spacescraft.

Angie Wolfgang presents a non-parametric mass-radius relationship developed in collaboration with statisticans from the Statistical & Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute.
