Solar and Stellar Interiors

Hydrodynamic simulations of near surface convection and waves in the Sun and stars more

The Göttingen mathematician has developed a numerical method that makes it easier than ever to calculate how waves propagate inside the Sun. more

The European Space Agency (ESA) has given the green light to build the flight models of the spacecraft and science payload for the PLATO mission to search for extrasolar planets. more

In the "Solar and Stellar Interiors" department, Laurent Gizon, Jesper Schou, Aaron Birch, Robert Cameron and others offer PhD projects in solar physics and astrophysics. Helioseismology and asteroseismology are used as important tools to study the oscillating Sun and stars. more

Ten years of data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory combined with numerical models reveal the deep low musical notes of the Sun. more
