    Stochastic excitation of the solar acoustic oscillations – inverting the near field
    Oscillations of solar-like stars are thought to be stochastically excited, and following Lighthill, the primary excitation mechanism is often assumed to be...

    The delicate interplay between accretion, ejection and magnetism in neutron stars X-ray binaries
    Matter ejection, in the form of either winds or jets, is ubiquitous in accreting X-ray binaries. Although it is clear that accretion and ejection are profoundly...

    The Mass Accretion Rate on Young Stellar Objects: the challenge of the early stages
    One of the most fundamental questions in astronomy is how stars, the building blocks of the Universe, form. We generally understand that stars emerge from dense...
