In parallel, Gaia also publishes photometric alerts of unexpected flux variations. The PhD student will contribute, in collaboration with the Gaia Science Alerts Group at Cambridge University, to improve the alert detection algorithms for young stellar objects. The PhD project will aslo include the follow up of published alerts for pre-main sequence stars, by obtaining new observations of the variable source, then analysing, modeling, and publishing the results.
