| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I have continued to develop transit and radial velocity analysis pipelines tailored for TESS data, as well as publishing in scientific journals, including the following recently submitted articles:
Hoyer, Gandolfi, Armstrong et al. (including Livingston), "TOI-220b: a warm sub-Neptune discovered by TESS", accepted to Monthly Notices of the RAS, arXiv:2105.01944
Georgieva, Persson, Barragan et al. (including Livingston), "Hot planets around cool stars -- two short-period mini-Neptunes transiting the late K-dwarf TOI-1260", submitted to Astronomy & Astrophysics, arXiv:2104.05653
Hirano, Livingston, Fukui et al., "Two Bright M Dwarfs Hosting Ultra-Short-Period Super-Earths with Earth-like Compositions", submitted to The Astronomical Journal, arXiv:2103.12760

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
In addition to the publications listed above, several publications remain in progress. Furthermore, I have finished building several workstations for large scale data analysis, which I have begun using for analysis of data from the TESS mission.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The plan for the future is to focus primarily on applying enhanced computational capabilities to more of the TESS data. The shift will thus be away from more traditional CPU-based analysis methods to large scale GPU-based analyses.
