The origins of stellar properties (STELLARPROP)

Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2019,

"Less than a century ago it was realised that stars are still forming in our Galaxy today. Over the decades since, the questions of what physical processes dominate the star formation process and how the statistical properties of stars are determined have been some of the key questions in astrophysics. Recently, I have advanced numerical simulations of star formation to the point that, for the f ...

Convective Heat Transport and Stellar Magnetism (CHASM)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2018,

"Magnetism plays a profound role in stars and planets. In the Sun, magnetic fields are ultimately responsible for solar flares and coronal mass ejections that can impact our technological society. Earth's own magnetic field partly shields us from these events, but solar storms can still interrupt satellite communications, disrupt power grids, and pose a danger to astronauts on spacewalks. More ge ...
