THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest
physics
Doctoral School of Physics

Thesis supervisor: Ágnes Kóspál
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences
Abbreviation of location of studies: MTA


Description of the research topic:

The "Structured Accretion Disks" ERC-funded research group invites applicants to a PhD position at Konkoly Observatory (Budapest, Hungary), on the topic of circumstellar structure around young eruptive stars. The PhD student will participate in a large systematic study of the accretion-driven eruptions of newborn stars. In order to explore the relationship between the inhomogeneous disk structure and time-variable accretion, the PhD student will reduce and analyze data on young stars, and will perform new optical, infrared and radio observations. The results will help to understand the general significance of the eruptive phenomenon during star formation. A follow-up study of the individual newly discovered young eruptive stars is also expected.

Required language skills: Enlgish
Further requirements: 
Good knowledge of the physics of star formation, experience with photometric and spectroscopic data processing

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2018-05-31
