Description: Personal website for Dr. Louise Dyregaard Nielsen, astronomer researching explanets.
ESO fellow in Garching
I am an astronomer searching for planets around other stars than our Sun, called exoplanets . I determine their mass and radius to understand their interior and composition. I am especially interested in young planets and active stars. I aim to develop methods that will allow us to mitigate and model stellar activity signals.
I am a research fellow at ESO in Garching, close to Munich, working on characterising planets orbiting young, active stars.
