Tidal flows in extrasolar planets and stars

  Research Group: School of Mathematics
Since 1995 astronomers have discovered and partially characterised several thousand extrasolar planets. Many planets have masses similar to Jupiter's, and orbit their host stars in only a few Earth days -- a fascinating class of planets that we refer to as hot Jupiters. Read more

A long-term variability study of young stars: Periodicity, hot spots, accretion and early evolution at the time of planet formation

Young stars are variable due to the processes happening on the star and its protoplanetary disk at the time of planet formation. The star-disk connection holds the clues to several open questions including rotational evolution, the origin of our Solar System and the feasibility of habitable planets. Read more

Simulation-based Inference of gravitational waves signals from black holes and neutron stars

  Research Group: Gravity Exploration Institute
Black holes and neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, well beyond what we can produce in a laboratory and at the very edge of our understanding of physics. Read more

Carbon burning in massive stars

The number of fusion reactions that are critical for astrophysics is scarce. Among these, the 12C + 12C reaction that is essential for the life cycle of massive stars, may occur at different stages of stellar evolution. Read more

Time variability and fragmentation of massive star forming cores.

  Research Group: Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
Stars light up every single galaxy across the Universe, 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

Developing and evaluating a community-based intervention to promote shared book reading and library use at the transition into primary school

This fully funded PhD place provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research working in partnership with Leeds libraries and local education providers to develop and evaluate a shared book reading intervention for young children in the summer before they start primary school.

Star Formation Triggered by Colliding Interstellar Clouds

  Research Group: Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
CONTEXT. Much of the interstellar gas in a galaxy like the Milky Way is in dense molecular clouds. When these clouds enter a spiral arm, they merge to form larger clouds, and are compressed to higher densities. Read more

Exploring the Gravitational-Wave Sky with Machine Learning

  Research Group: Gravity Exploration Institute
Gravitational waves (GWs) are produced by some of the most violent events in the Universe, such as the mergers of black holes and the explosive deaths of massive stars. Read more

Does magnetic field matter during the earliest stages of star cluster formation?

  Research Group: Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
Stars light up every single galaxy across the Universe, 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

PhD studies at Charles University

 . Charles University was founded in 1348, making it one of the oldest universities in the world. Yet it is also renowned as a modern, dynamic, cosmopolitan and prestigious institution of higher education. Read more
