Computational project taking advantage of big data from large surveys like ESA's Gaia, SDSS, Galah and Pan-STARRS.

Lead Research Organisation: University of Surrey
Department Name: Physics

Abstract

The successful candidate will model single, binary and triple stars using a stellar population nucleosynthesis code and
implement statistical tools to make comparisons with Gaia and other big data. One big aim is to pin down uncertain
processes in single and multiple-star evolution, like the common-envelope evolution efficiency that governs the number of
type Ia supernovae and merging neutron starA black hole systems.
