How do stars, planets and galaxies form? How do they evolve, how do they die? The Astronomy and Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick studies questions such as these through observations on telescopes, both large and small, and through physics-driven computational modelling. The use of optical telescopes in astronomy dates back over 400 years to Galileo, but we are now in a new Galilean era of discovery with the first detection of gravitational waves (GWs) only made in 2015. GWs provide a completely different view of the universe, delving to the heart of the most extreme events known as unimaginably dense stars spiral together, and, in their last moments before merging, rival the power output of the rest of the entire observable universe. GW telescopes can "see" almost everywhere at once, but have the equivalent of very blurred vision. To pinpoint sources, we need to see them electromagnetically (EM), i.e. with optical, radio and x-ray telescopes, but even that is difficult because you have to know where to look first. At Warwick we are working on a telescope called GOTO to do just this. From sites in Europe and Australia, GOTO is designed for breadth of vision and speed, to chase the universe's fastest and most violent events within minutes of their detection. Many less powerful, but longer lasting objects emit GWs much closer to Earth within our own galaxy, the Milky Way. We are starting to find systems from EM observations that will also be detectable as GW sources from space. These are exotic sources: one consists of two stars, each the size of the Earth but 100,000 times more massive, that circle each other in a little over five minutes. We will apply specialist high-speed cameras to their study, mounted on large optical telescopes, to probe how they evolve and important step in understanding how many of them there are, and how they came to be. Gravitational waves have given us new eyes on the universe, but new instruments and techniques do almost the same thing. In 1995 the first exoplanet was found through a particularly sensitive application of an old tool of astronomy called spectroscopy. Since then thousands of planets have been found in a bewildering variety of systems, many very different from our Solar System. At Warwick we have long pursued the discovery of exoplanets using both telescopes on Earth and in space, and will do so in this grant in order to understand processes that can destroy or erode planets when they are close to their host stars. Many known exoplanets are close to their host stars, but that is in part due to how we find them, so another strand of our research aims to push planetary detection to wider orbits, closer to those of our Solar system. Warwick has a strong interest in a new ESA-led space mission called PLATO which will provide a dramatic boost to this work. PLATO has a large field of view to allow it to pick up planets orbiting the brightest stars. These are key targets as they are close by, but above all they allow even more challenging application of spectroscopy, enough to allow us to probe the very composition of the planetary atmospheres. Earth and the other planets of the Solar system formed from a disk of material around the young Sun that lives on as the planets themselves but also "debris" in the form of comets, asteroids and dust. We aim to find evidence for similar structures around other stars, in particular from their dust as it scatters starlight. Such material can survive the several billion year lifetime of the star until just a hot dense remnant called a white dwarf remains. The formation of a white dwarf should "deep clean" the environment close to the star, and yet remarkably we have found many example of the planetary debris, and within our research we aim to find out how this can be. There are many other white dwarfs left from stellar evolution which we will map using a new generation of fibre-fed spectrographs that capture objects, 1000 at a time.

恒星、行星和星系是如何形成的？它们如何进化，又如何死亡？华威大学的天文学和天体物理学小组通过大型和小型望远镜的观测以及物理驱动的计算模型来研究此类问题。天文学中光学望远镜的使用可以追溯到伽利略 400 多年前，但我们现在正处于一个新的伽利略发现时代，直到 2015 年才首次探测到引力波 (GW)。引力波提供了完全不同的宇宙视图，深入研究最极端事件的核心，这些事件被称为难以想象的致密恒星螺旋在一起，并且在合并前的最后时刻，其功率输出可与整个可观测恒星的其余部分相媲美宇宙。 GW 望远镜可以同时“看到”几乎所有地方，但其视力相当模糊。为了查明来源，我们需要通过电磁 (EM) 方式观察它们，即使用光学、射电和 X 射线望远镜，但即便如此也很困难，因为您必须知道首先看哪里。在沃里克，我们正在研制一台名为 GOTO 的望远镜来实现这一目标。 GOTO 位于欧洲和澳大利亚，旨在提供广阔的视野和速度，能够在检测到宇宙中最快、最暴力的事件后几分钟内对其进行追踪。在我们自己的星系（银河系）内，许多威力较小但持续时间较长的天体发射的引力波离地球更近。我们开始从电磁观测中寻找系统，这些系统也可以作为太空中的引力波源进行检测。这些都是奇异的来源：其中一颗由两颗恒星组成，每颗恒星的大小都是地球的十万倍，但质量是地球的十万倍，它们在五分钟多一点的时间内互相绕转。我们将应用安装在大型光学望远镜上的专业高速摄像机来研究它们，以探究它们是如何演化的，以及了解它们的数量以及它们是如何形成的重要一步。引力波让我们对宇宙有了新的认识，但新的仪器和技术几乎可以做同样的事情。 1995 年，通过对一种称为光谱学的古老天文学工具的特别灵敏的应用，发现了第一颗系外行星。从那时起，人们在各种令人眼花缭乱的系统中发现了数千颗行星，其中许多与我们的太阳系截然不同。在沃里克，我们长期以来一直致力于利用地球和太空中的望远镜来发现系外行星，并将在这笔拨款中这样做，以便了解当行星靠近其主恒星时可能会摧毁或侵蚀行星的过程。许多已知的系外行星都靠近它们的主恒星，但这部分取决于我们如何找到它们，因此我们研究的另一部分旨在将行星探测推向更广泛的轨道，更接近太阳系的轨道。沃里克对欧空局领导的一项名为“柏拉图”的新太空任务非常感兴趣，该任务将为这项工作提供巨大的推动力。 PLATO 具有很大的视野，可以捕捉到围绕最亮恒星运行的行星。这些是关键目标，因为它们离我们很近，但最重要的是，它们允许更具挑战性的光谱学应用，足以让我们探测行星大气的组成。地球和太阳系的其他行星是由围绕年轻太阳的物质盘形成的，这些物质以行星本身的形式存在，但也以彗星、小行星和尘埃的形式存在“碎片”。我们的目标是寻找其他恒星周围类似结构的证据，特别是从它们散射星光的尘埃中寻找证据。这种物质可以在恒星的数十亿年寿命中存活下来，直到只剩下称为白矮星的热致密残余物。白矮星的形成应该“深度清洁”恒星附近的环境，但值得注意的是，我们已经发现了许多行星碎片的例子，在我们的研究中，我们的目标是找出这是如何实现的。恒星演化过程中还留下了许多其他白矮星，我们将使用新一代光纤摄谱仪来绘制它们的地图，这些摄谱仪一次捕获 1000 个物体。
