Astronomers are studying how young stellar objects (YSOs) develop and accrete mass. The variability of the YSO brightness can give information about the rate of accretion and the growth of these young stars. The YSOs described in this project are found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy nearby to the Milky Way. My program uses data taken by an infrared satellite to construct time sequences and determine the periodicity of stellar fluctuations using the Lomb-Scargle algorithm to create Folded Light Curves. Each object can be selected, and the results are plotted.
