Pint of Science returns bringing ÌÇÐÄTV scientists out of the lab and into your living room
The public science festival, Pint of Science, kicks off next week with experts from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV talking about their research live in your living room.
Discovered: The mechanism that generates huge white dwarf magnetic fields
A dynamo mechanism could explain the incredibly strong magnetic fields in white dwarf stars according to an international team of scientists, including a University of ÌÇÐÄTV astronomer.
Search for planetary remains and new mathematical concepts at University of ÌÇÐÄTV receive over €4 million European research funding
Scientists at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV are to benefit from a total of over €4 million funding to support new projects that will aim to find and analyse the remains of planets around nearby dead stars, and to find new ways of incorporating the ideas of combinatorics into different areas of mathematics.
First transiting exoplanet’s ‘chemical fingerprint’ reveals its distant birthplace
Astronomers have found evidence that the first exoplanet that was identified transiting its star could have migrated to a close orbit with its star from its original birthplace further away.
Vaporised crusts of Earth-like planets found in dying stars
Remnants of planets with Earth-like crusts have been discovered in the atmospheres of four nearby white dwarf stars by University of ÌÇÐÄTV astronomers, offering a glimpse of the planets that may have once orbited them up to billions of years ago.
