Cosmochronology within the stellar neighbourhood: Leaving no star and planet behind
The stellar population near the Sun, which contains the brightest specimens of almost all types of stars and planets, is a key research area that remains poorly explored. The spacecraft Gaia has provided, for the first time, a near complete census of stars and white dwarfs within 100 pc, but a full understanding of the local stellar population is still a major challenge. From this project and my involvement in the next generation multi-object spectroscopic surveys 4MOST and WEAVE, I will obtain medium resolution optical spectroscopy of all stars within 100 pc. I will also conduct theoretical development to improve our understanding of how white dwarf and low-mass star evolve. Modelling the…
