Proposal Information

Name:
Stephen Marsden
Title:
Differential rotation as a driver of the stellar magnetic dynamo.
Project Description:
The Sun’s dark spots, flares, prominences and coronal mass ejections provide us with graphic demonstrations of the importance of magnetic phenomena on the Sun. These phenomena have also been observed on young Sun-like stars but on a much larger scale. In the project we are searching for young Suns so that we can understand the process that create these magnetic phenomena.
