Presentation / Conference Contribution
Quinton, M., Mcgregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021). Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts. In AM '21: Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Audio Mostly (72-80). https://doi.org/10.1145/3478384.3478390

This study investigates the design and evaluation of a sonification designed to detect any planets orbiting within an asteroid belt of an exosolar system. The interface was designed for an astronomer who studies this phenomenon. User centered design... Read More about Sonification of Planetary Orbits in Asteroid Belts.

Sonification of exosolar planetary systems (2021)
Thesis
Quinton, M. A. P. Sonification of exosolar planetary systems. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2848536

The purpose of this research is to investigate sonification techniques suitable for astronomers to explore exosolar planetary data. Four studies were conducted, one with sonification specialists and three with exosolar planetary astronomers. The firs... Read More about Sonification of exosolar planetary systems.

Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Quinton, M., McGregor, I., & Benyon, D. (2021). Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs. In The 26th International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD 2021)

This study investigated the design and evaluation of a sonification, created for an astronomer who studies exosolar accretion discs. User design methods were applied to sonify data that could allow the classification of accretion discs. The sonificat... Read More about Sonification of Exosolar System Accretion Discs.
