She is the lead author of the September 2015 paper ''Where's the Flux?'' which investigates the highly unusual light curve of KIC 8462852;〔 the star has been colloquially named Tabby's Star in her honor.〔 ==Background== In 2009, Boyajian received a Ph.D. from Georgia State University, working with thesis advisor Harold A. McAlister. She studied the sizes of nearby stars similar to the Sun, using the University's CHARA array located at Mount Wilson Observatory, a long-baseline optical and infrared interferometer. She was awarded a NASA Hubble Fellowship, and stayed at Georgia to study sizes of nearby stars much smaller than the Sun and stars with planets.〔〔 Fellow astronomer Sarah Ballard has used Boyajian's "truly remarkable"〔 work creating this "precious sample"〔 of data on nearby small stars for the "characterization by proxy" method to help investigate the far more distant exoplanet Kepler-61b.〔〔 , Boyajian is secretary and steering committee member of Division G Stars and Stellar Physics of the International Astronomical Union.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tabetha S.
