About

I am Coel Hellier, I can be contacted at coelsblog |{at}| gmail (dot) com. I’m a Professor of Astrophysics at Keele University. In my earlier research career I mostly studied binary stars that were exchanging material, leading up to my book about Cataclysmic Variable Stars. More recently I’ve been searching for planets transiting stars nearby in our galaxy, running the WASP-South transit search. This blog aims to cover topics of interest to me, mostly related to the nature of science.
