Funding for planets search
Professor Coel Hellier, of the Astrophysics Group, has won a Science and Technology Facilities Council research grant for £34,265. This provides additional funding for the WASP project, which searches for planets transiting stars nearby in our galaxy and will help towards the running costs of the Keele-operated WASP-South camera array.
The WASP project continues to be the world's most successful search for transiting exoplanets and recently found its 50th planet, WASP-50b.
