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

University of Dundee School of Science and Engineering

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
