My project is focused on the variability of stellar sources. I am currently using the GAIA DR1 and 2MASS data sets to search for eruptive variables, specifically FU Orionis. In conjunction I am also using UKIRT photometric data in the J, H and K bands of white dwarfs which was taken over multiple epochs to search for infrared variability around the white dwarfs. This could help to identify how 30% of white dwarfs become polluted with metals. Long term, I will continue to search for and try to understand the variability of white dwarfs in both optical and near-infrared wavelengths.

我的项目重点是恒星源的可变性。我目前正在使用Gaia DR1和2MASS的数据集来搜索喷发变星，特别是猎户座富星。同时，我还使用了UKIRT在白矮星的J、H和K波段的光度测量数据，这些数据是在多个历元上获取的，以寻找白矮星周围的红外可变性。这可能有助于确定30%的白矮星是如何被金属污染的。从长远来看，我将继续寻找并试图了解白矮星在光学和近红外波长上的可变性。
