I’m interested to look at other stars as well, applying my knowledge and research techniques to study stellar phenomena. For example, what we can learn about solar prominences by being able to observe them in great detail, can be extended to stellar prominences – these are similar to the prominences we find in the solar atmosphere, but now are in atmospheres of stars.
I should also say that by being exposed to what other colleagues are researching in astrophysics around me, and by teaching astrophysics at university, I am lucky to hear the details of recent discoveries and unsolved ‘big questions’. I can then use this knowledge in my lectures, or when discussing with non-specialists. So even if I don’t study these objects myself, I still get all the excitement!
