Title: Asteroseismology of the Kepler field DBV White Dwarf - It's a hot one! Authors: Agnés Bischoff-Kim, Roy H. Řstensen We present an asteroseismic analysis of the helium atmosphere white dwarf (a DBV) recently found in the field of view of the Kepler satellite. We analyse the 5-mode pulsation s...
Professor Matt Visser will be exploring some of the mysteries of the universe next year. The Victoria Professor from the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research was recently awarded one of four prestigious James Cook Research Fellowships providing funding of $110,000 a year f...
Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau (Beuxelles, 14 October 1801 - Ghent, 15 September 1883) was a Belgian physicist. He was the first person to demonstrate the illusion of a moving image. To do this he used counter rotating disks with repeating drawn images in small increments of motion on one and regu...
