Rotation and Accretion of Young Stellar Objects

年轻恒星的自转和吸积-该项目将专注于了解年轻恒星的质量吸积和自转。候选者将利用现有的和新的高节奏、多滤光片的年轻恒星物体的光学观测来测量自转周期以及幅度和相位变化。这些数据将被用来推断冷磁吸积点或热吸积点的性质(温度、大小、恒星上的位置)，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化的新见解。

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.
