A Comprehensive Analysis of the Habitability of
TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets
Vyshakh Thejaswi is a student in WWP High School South's class of '25. He loves Astrophysics as well as Classical Physics and Relativity. He enjoys playing with his dog, photography, and classifying deep sky objects on zooniverse.com. He also spends his free time studying for astronomy and physics competitions, Science Olympiad, and launching his nonprofit, Limitless Astronomy. He joined NJAA in April 2024, and plans to spend as much time as he can at the observatory.
He was inspired to write his paper "A Comprehensive Analysis of the Habitability of TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets" while studying for Science Olympiad - while studying the TRAPPIST-1 system, he realized that while various researchers had addressed separate factors that could affect habitability, no papers came to a conclusion considering all available data whether or not the exoplanets in the system are habitable.
