Looking for input on undergraduate paper authorship in astro: I am writing a paper with an undergrad (just the two of us). They’ve performed the full analysis (with significant help and guidance), but I expect final written version of the paper will be mostly my words.

To accompany all those BlueSky science/academia #starterpacks, let’s share introductions to the literature of our fields
Gravitational-wave papers (created with observablehq.com/@guillaume-l...)
When the intro starts "We have opened a new window" you know you can skip a couple of paragraphs

Here's the beginning of starter pack for people and groups working on the theory, detection, or analysis of gravitational waves, or whose work is closely related to the field of gravitational waves. Please let me know who I've missed and I'll add them. go.bsky.app/HrAJX35
