Funded Activity Summary
A dedicated telescope to study the interiors of stars from their oscillations. This project aims to drive major advances in astronomy by building a world-class telescope facility dedicated to the detailed observations of stars. Through an innovative use of contemporary technologies, the telescope will investigate oscillations in solar-like stars. It is expected to generate new knowledge about the physics underpinning stellar structure and evolution that cannot be obtained by other means. Addressing questions such as how planets form, and how Sun-like stars evolve, has a direct impact on how we perceive our place in the cosmos. Expected outcomes include strong international links and enhanced capacity for Australia to be at the forefront of cutting-edge astrophysics research. Insights will provide significant benefits to other areas of astrophysics, particularly our understanding of how planets form and how the Milky Way formed and evolved.Funded Activity Details
