The theoretical research team applies massive close binary evolutionary models to population number synthesis studies, and investigates the influence of massive close binary evolution on the variation of the massive star content in starburst regions.
The observational research unit is involved in long-term photometric monitoring of pulsating variables (beta Cephei stars, delta Scuti stars and Luminous Blue Variables) and cataclysmic variables.
