Description for Differential Rotation in Sun-Like Stars from Surface Variability and Asteroseismology
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 101 pages, 11 black & white illustrations, 18 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PGC; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 8. Weight in Grams: 349.
In his PhD dissertation Martin Bo Nielsen performs observational studies of rotation in stars like the Sun. The interior rotation in stars is thought to be one of the driving mechanisms of stellar magnetic activity, but until now this mechanism was unconstrained by observational data.
NASA’s Kepler space mission provides high-precision observations of Sun-like stars which allow rotation to be inferred using two independent methods: asteroseismology measures the rotation of the stellar interior, while the brightness variability caused by features on the stellar surface trace the rotation of its outermost layers. By combining these two techniques Martin Bo Nielsen was ... Read more

About Martin Bo Nielsen
Martin Bo Nielsen received his B.Sc and M.Sc degrees from Aarhus University in Denmark, during which he spent one year as a student support astronomer at the Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma, Spain. This was followed by a PhD on the topic of differential rotation in Sun-like stars, at Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, under the supervision of Prof. Laurent Gizon ... Read more
