A variability study of young stars - Periodicity, hot spots, accretion and early evolution at the time of planet formation

The main technical limitation for these studies is the scale: few stellar radii to sub-au are impossible to map even with interferometry. The A variability study of young stars - Periodicity, hot spots, accretion and early evolution at the time of planet formation course is offered at University of Dundee.
