Exoplanets and asteroseismology with TESS.

该项目将利用NASA凌日系外行星调查卫星(TESS)的新数据。TESS是第一次提供几乎全天空光度测量的太空任务，覆盖的面积是NASA之前的行星发现任务开普勒(Borucki等人)的400倍。2010)。在这个博士项目期间，我们将使用这些最先进的观测来不仅了解系外行星，而且了解它们的宿主恒星。后者将包括对恒星振荡的调查，这是一种被称为星震学的技术。利用星震学，我们将寻求对系外行星宿主恒星的性质进行详细的洞察，并将这些发现与它们的系外行星的性质联系起来。通过这种方式，我们将精心策划一个已知细节的系外行星系统的黄金样本，并利用这个样本来了解系外行星系统的形成以及我们自己的太阳系。

This project will make use of novel data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). TESS is the first space mission to provide nearly all-sky photometry, covering an area 400 times larger than that of the previous NASA planet finding-mission, called Kepler (Borucki et al. 2010). During this PhD project we will use these state-of-the-art observations to understand not only exoplanets, but also their host stars. The latter will consist of an investigation of stellar oscillations, a technique known as asteroseismology. Employing asteroseismology, we will seek to gain a detailed insight into the properties of exoplanet host stars, and link these findings to the properties of their exoplanets. In this way, we will curate a gold sample of exoplanet systems that are known in exquisite detail, and use this sample to learn about the formation of exoplanet systems as well as our own solar system.
