AbstractKatie Bristol is awarded an Astronomy and Astrophysics Fellowship to carry out a program of research and education at Purdue University. The rocks that form in an emerging planetary system contain small metallic domains within them which record the surrounding magnetic field strength at the time of solidification. This project will extract those records from meteorite samples to learn about magnetism in our newborn Sun's planet-forming disk. These magnetic records will help in determining how th
