Stellar ages and stellar rotation [PDF]
, 2016 Stellar ages will play a big role in the next generation of astronomy. Useful to exoplaneteers and galactic archaeologists alike, this relatively under-exploited stellar property is currently limited by the precision of dating techniques. The work presented in this thesis contributes incrementally to a greater understanding of rotation period decay in ...

Fictions, Conditionals, and Stellar Astrophysics [PDF]
, 2013 This article argues in favour of an inferential role for fictions in scientific modelling. The argument proceeds by means of a detailed case study, namely models of the internal structure of stars in stellar astrophysics.

Influence of surface stressing on stellar coronae and winds [PDF]
, 2013 STFC funding has supported this research.The large-scale field of the Sun is well represented by its lowest energy (or potential) state. Recent observations, by comparison, reveal that many solar-type stars show large-scale surface magnetic fields that ...

Disentangling planetary orbits from stellar activity in radial-velocity surveys [PDF]
, 2013 The majority of extra-solar planets have been discovered (or confirmed after follow-up) through radial-velocity (RV) surveys. Using ground-based spectrographs such as High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planetary Search (HARPS) and HARPS-North, it is now ...
