I'm Anna O'Grady, a McWilliams Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm an observational astronomer researching massive binary star systems, with a particular focus on yellow supergiant binaries and using resolved stellar populations to constrain the physics of binary interactions.
While code development is not a core part of my research, I have created a few (hopefully useful!) code snippets over my career, and I'm dedicated to open science and resource sharing. Check out my repositories!
- topcat_scatter_python - Create TOPCAT-style density plots in matplotlib
- zh_scraper - Webscraper for the Zaritsky and Harris Magellanic Cloud extinction data
