Timing and Variability Research in Astrophysics

Welcome to the Timing and Variability Research in Astrophysics group!

Our group investigates the brightness variations and timing properties of various celestial bodies, ranging from exoplanets to active galactic nuclei. Using observational data and advanced analysis methods, we conduct research to understand the variable nature of the universe.

We focus our studies primarily on two main branches: Galaxies and Stellar Systems. Within these fields, we examine the brightness variations and timing characteristics of a wide range of celestial objects, from active galactic nuclei to exoplanets.

While all our group members can collaborate seamlessly across projects in a multidisciplinary manner, we operate with specialized teams based on core research focuses. We invite all science-enthusiast researchers and students to join us on this exciting journey to discover the rhythm of the universe.
