Description | This grant payed for us to perform observing runs on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope with our high-speed camera ULTRACAM. Using ULTRACAM, we have made a number of breakthroughs in our understanding of the structure and evolution of close binary stars. |
Exploitation Route | Our findings provide the observational underpinning of our understanding of close binary star structure and evolution. |
