The Keele astrophysics group are part of an international project to search for planets orbiting binary star systems using radial velocity measurements.
Project Description. Keele hosts a smart energy network demonstrator (SEND), which will go live in 2019. Once the digitally-monitored energy system is live, it offers many opportunities for research.
Stellar physics is now entering a new, high-precision era with many ESO, ESA and other international projects. The data obtained with two successful satellites, CoRoT and Kepler, and from ground-based project such as SuperWASP, allow the analysis of pulsations of thousands of stars, in synergy with exoplanet research.
The VISTA Magellanic Clouds survey (VMC) is near its completion of the – by far - deepest and most detailed near-infrared mapping of the nearby Magellanic Clouds galaxies, the region in between them, and several flanking fields.
The study of eclipsing binary star systems is one of the most mature and rewarding areas of stellar physics, offering the unique opportunity to determine the masses and radii of distant stars directly from observational data.
Anthropologists are often asked to identify human bone within forensic and mass disaster cases, where in many instances the bone has been compromised through thermal alteration, or diagenetic processes (archaeological bone).
