Reduce Spitzer observations of 3 brown dwarfs taken sequentially in time to look for evidence of variability. If variability exists, the amplitude is very low. The evidence of variability would suggest that cloud features or holes in the clouds are not homogeneously distributed across the surface.

Skills and Experience Required

Reduce Spitzer photometry. Write a program that look for low amplitude variabililty.
