Imaging the interiors of the Sun and stars
We work with lightcurve data — photon counts measured by ground- and space-based telescopes — to study the Sun and stars through helio- and asteroseismology, and to detect and characterize exoplanets through transits and radial-velocity signals.
About the group
Reading the visible universe at telescope cadence
lightcurve.ai uses the available data, applying modern computational algorithms and statistical inference methods to accelerate astrophysical discovery — across helio- and asteroseismology, exoplanet transit photometry, and a secondary track in terrestrial geophysics.
Read about usResearch areas
All research →The Sun
Imaging flows, magnetic fields, and convection in the solar interior using acoustic oscillations.
Stars
Measuring stellar structure, rotation, and evolution from photometric variability in Kepler and TESS data.
Exoplanets
Detecting planetary candidates and characterizing them from transit light curves and radial-velocity signals.
A minor research area: the group also applies seismic-inversion techniques to terrestrial geophysics — a secondary direction that draws on the same mathematical machinery developed for the Sun. See the Earth area →
