Description

Revealing invisible stellar interiors using starquakes in star clusters. The project aims to study stellar and cluster evolution synergistically, using stellar oscillations as a key tool. This project expects to understand the fundamental physics of stars, specifically focusing on accurately describing angular momentum transport and inside element mixing. Expected outcomes include an enhanced stellar evolution model with well-calibrated rotation and mixing processes, which will advance a broad range of astrophysical research, from exoplanets to clusters and galactic archaeology. The benefits of this project include enhancing the global reputation of Australian observatories and strengthening Australia's leadership in ongoing space-based missions, in line with the burgeoning space-based era of stellar physics..
