SuperWASP Variable Stars

The SuperWASP project is currently funded and operated by Warwick University and Keele University, and was originally set up by Queen’s University Belfast, the Universities of Keele, St. Andrews and Leicester, the Open University, the Isaac Newton Group, the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, the South African Astronomical Observatory and by STFC.

This Zooniverse project on SuperWASP Variable Stars is led by Andrew Norton (The Open University) and builds on work he has done with his former OU postgraduate students Les Thomas, Stan Payne, Marcus Lohr, Paul Greer and Heidi Thiemann, and current OU postgraduate student Adam McMaster, as well as OU academic Hugh Dickinson.

Other members of the SuperWASP project with an interest in this area include Pierre Maxted and Barry Smalley (Keele University), Pete Wheatley and Richard West (Warwick University), and Simon Hodgkin (Cambridge University).

This project was developed with the help of the ASTERICS Horizon2020 project. ASTERICS supported by the European Commission Framework Programme Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation action under grant agreement n.653477
