Title:
Measuring the convective properties of the white dwarf WDJ1524-0030
Project Description:
We are using a co-ordinated network of telescopes around the world to examine a white dwarf -- a star at the very end of its life. By studying regular variations in the star's brightness, we will gain insights into its internal structure and how atoms are mixed in its atmosphere.
