Quan Gan received his PhD in space physics from Wuhan University. His research interests include, but are not limited to, the short-term variability in the ionosphere-thermosphere system driven by forcing from the sun, and the M-I coupling and waves from the lower atmosphere.

Editor in Chief of Open Astronomy, a flagship for open publishing

In late February 2017, Senior Scientist Philip Judge was contacted by Ewa Chmielewska, Managing Editor at De Gruyter Open, a scientific publisher of its own and third-party journals. To his great surprise, Ewa invited Philip to become Editor-In-Chief of the online journal Open Astronomy.

Thursday, December 3, 2015

What might happen to the well-known 11-year solar cycle if the Sun were spun up to rotate more than two times faster? To investigate such questions of the dependence of the Sun's internal dynamo on parameters such as rotation we must look to other stars with different physical conditions.
