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

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.
