Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters.

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
