Planets and Pulsators

Guest Speaker

Thursday, 6th August 2026 (19:45 - 22:00)

Venue: Hybrid

Delta Scuti Pulsators are young, mainstream stars that experience rapid, observable changes in brightness. Dr Ebo's lecture explores how astronomers detect and model planets that orbit these actively vibrating hosts. The discovery of planets around these pulsating stars provides a laboratory that offers the opportunity for the most precise studies of exoplanet systems.
