Are there planets around white dwarf binaries?

University of Sheffield Department of Physics and Astronomy

Research Group: Astronomy and Astrophysics

The timing method can be used to search for exoplanets. It uses some periodic signal from a star as a clock in order to search for the gravitational signal of a planet in orbit around it. Read more

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

Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.
