Rotation and Accretion of Young Stellar Objects - The project will focus on understanding the mass accretion and rotation of young stars. The candidate will utilise existing and new high cadence, multi filter optical observations of young stellar objects to measure rotation periods as well as amplitude and phase variations. These data will be utilised to infer the properties of cold magnetic or hot accretion spots (temperature, size, position on the star) and map their evolution over time to gain new insights into the evolution of accretion columns or magnetic spots on the surface of young stars.

年轻恒星物体的旋转和吸积-该项目将侧重于了解年轻恒星的质量吸积和旋转。候选人将利用现有的和新的高节奏，多过滤器光学观测年轻的恒星物体来测量旋转周期以及振幅和相位变化。这些数据将用于推断冷磁或热吸积点的性质（温度、大小、在星星上的位置），并绘制它们随时间的演变图，以获得对年轻恒星表面吸积柱或磁点演变的新见解。
