Testing stellar physics using asteroseismology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We will use stellar oscillations as a tool for understanding stellar physics. This project will develop strong and vigorous international collaboration with astronomers in the USA and Denmark and will deliver world-class training for future Australian researchers. We envisage considerable benefit to the Anglo-Australian Observatory, whose telescope we will exploit for high-impact science with low-cost observations that will enhance its reputation and that align with its plans for the coming years. The software developed in this project for extracting precision velocities from iodine-referenced spectra, which we will make available to the Anglo-Australian Observatory, will benefit all users of the UCL Echelle Spectrograph (UCLES) iodine cell.
