Abstract

This UROP project gauges the viability of using a ground-based telescope to find and study Born Again Giants, which are stars that appears to explode into a supernova, then reappear again as a red giant. After an unknown period of time, the star will again erupt and reform. Our results show that our current telescope and image reduction methods are not sufficient for these purposes.
