Expert in the interaction between extrasolar planets and their host stars, the physical processes related to stellar rotation and magnetic fields in late-type stars. He now works for the science management of PLATO, an ESA mission that will discover exoplanets and study their evolution with the most advanced methods of Astrophysics.
- Savita Mathur: Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (Tenerife, Spain). Savita mainly focuses on Astrophysics, Astronomy, Stars, Asteroseismology and Solar-like oscillations. She conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Astrophysics and Oscillation through her works. Her work on Kepler and Photometry is typically connected to Scaling as part of general Stars study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her Asteroseismology study frequently draws parallels with other fields,
such as Stellar structure. Her Solar-like oscillations research incorporates elements of Red clump, Effective temperature and Main sequence. Her Exoplanet study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Planetary system and Radius. - Ângela R. G. Santos: Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (Portugal). Angela Santos brings expertise in data analysis for solar and stellar observations, often contributing to the solar-stellar connection. Her experience includes long-term brightness variations due to active regions, as well as short-term brightness variations due to acoustic oscillations. Ângela has used asteroseismology to learn about stellar magnetism and, for a particular star, to help detect and characterize its activity cycle leading to the discovery of the metallicity impact on magnetic-activity evolution. Ângela’s expertise aligns perfectly with the goals of the proposed international team.
