Coronal genealogy: the evolution of high-energy emission from low-mass stars
This PhD project will use models and observations of forming low-mass stars to shed light on the history and evolution of Sun-like stars. Read more
Exploring the environments of exploding stars
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Supernovae are the explosive deaths of certain types of stars; in particular, stars a lot more massive than our Sun. The route from massive star formation… Read more
The convergence of interstellar filaments and its link to the formation of the most massive stars
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
In the past decade filaments have been recognised as a major structural element of the interstellar medium, the densest of these filaments hosting the formation of most stars. Read more
What time can tell us about space: Using time-resolved observations of young stars to explore the circumstellar environment beyond what direct resolution can achieve
What happens in the planet-forming region when planets form? How are stars like our Sun formed? Observational answers have to deal with one fact. Read more
Marriages Made in Heaven: the Origin of Multiple Star Systems
CONTEXT. Most high- and intermediate-mass stars are in stable multiple systems, usually binary systems where the two stars pursue elliptical orbits round each other, but quite often higher-order multiples involving three or more stars. Read more
The formation and evolution of star-forming filaments
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
CONTEXT. Filaments play a critical role in star formation. Read more
Bipolar HII Regions produced by Colliding Clouds
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
CONTEXT. When two interstellar clouds collide at high speed, they produce a shock-compressed layer, which becomes gravitationally unstable and fragments, producing a cluster of stars. Read more
Star formation in the Magellanic Clouds
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are the nearest templates for the detailed study of star formation under metal-poor conditions. Read more
The Non-thermal Emission from Colliding Winds Binaries
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Colliding Winds Binaries are stellar systems containing two (usually massive) stars each with a powerful stellar wind. In systems with O stars or Wolf-Rayet stars, the winds collide at very high speeds (1000-3000 km/s). Read more
Do magnetic fields matter when it comes to star cluster formation?
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
Stars are the candles of the Universe, they light up every single galaxy allowing us to study their structure across the cosmos. Despite their importance, there are still many aspects of the star formation process that remain poorly constrained. Read more
Progenitor evolution of gravitational-wave emitting black-holes
The era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy (GWA) opened in the last few years with the first detections from the LIGO and VIRGO observatories. Read more
Film Studies PhD (option of joint PhD with Hong Kong University)
About Film Studies PhD. The Film Studies Department is one of the the leading centres for the study of cinema in London. We have internationally recognised research strengths in the following areas. Read more
Chemistry in planet-forming regions revealed by ALMA
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a telescope in Chile that observes the universe at millimeter wavelengths. Read more
Revealing the subsurface - Creation of real-time gravity maps for engineering targets
In 1500 Leonardo Da Vinci stated that we know more about the stars above us than the ground beneath our feet. That is as true today as it was then. Read more
Research opportunities in the Department of Economics and Related Studies
Our pioneering work in new fields such as health, development and experimental economics alongside our long-established excellence in more traditional areas such as finance, macroeconomics and econometrics has confirmed York as a world-leader in economic research. Read more
