They share this award with UK-based astrophysicist Douglas Gough. Seismology studies how the Earth shakes during earthquakes to learn about its interior. The laureates applied this concept to the field of astronomy, focusing on movements on the surface of the Sun and other stars in order to investigate their interior. This field, in which movements on stellar surfaces are caused by soundwave-like internal oscillations, is called asteroseismology. Prof. Emeritus Christensen-Dalsgaard played a major role in the first-generation development of asteroseismology. Supported by the EU-funded project ASTERISK, he combined advanced observations of stellar oscillations with state-of-the-art modelling of stars, and also conducted research on low-mass cool stars. His work alongside Douglas Gough and other researchers led to the establishment of a network called the GONG telescopes in 1995. This brought about novel discoveries, such as how the interior of the Sun rotates differently to its outer layer. Prof. Aerts used the same method to explore distant stars. She investigated stellar interiors and stellar evolution with backing from the EU-funded PROSPERITY project, and a few years later conducted research into massive stars as part of another EU-funded project called MAMSIE. Prof. Aerts\u2019 latest EU grant through the 4D-STAR project is currently enabling her work on massive star modelling. Through this project, she hopes to tackle one of the biggest challenges in astrophysics, namely accurately measuring stellar age, which would provide valuable insight into how galaxies evolve chemically and how stars and planets form inside them.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"c-article__title\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Mathematical contributions<\/span><\/h6>\n<p class=\"c-article__text \" style=\"text-align: justify;\">French mathematician Claire Voisin received this year\u2019s Crafoord Prize in Mathematics \u201cfor outstanding contributions to complex and algebraic geometry, including Hodge theory, algebraic cycles, and hyperk\u00e4hler geometry\u201d. Dr Voisin\u2019s work in algebraic geometry has yielded positive results in famous unsolved problems, such as the Kodaira problem. She has also been the leading researcher on the Hodge conjecture, a major unsolved problem in algebraic and complex geometry. Additionally, she has recently developed a method for determining whether geometric shapes are rational. With EU backing through the HyperK project, Dr Voisin is also working on bringing hyperk\u00e4hler geometry to the centre of modern mathematics. Her work \u2013 thanks to which we know that gravity warps both space and time, and that the universe is curved \u2013 has helped to advance scientific knowledge and transform the world. The PROSPERITY (Probing Stellar Physics and Testing Stellar Evolution through Asteroseismology), ASTERISK (ASTERoseismic Investigations with SONG and Kepler), and MAMSIE (Mixing and Angular Momentum tranSport of m assIvE stars) projects have ended. HyperK (Modern Aspects of Geometry: Categories, Cycles and Cohomology of Hyperka\u0308hler Varieties) ends in 2026 and 4D-STAR (Lifting stellar structure and evolution to higher dimensions in the era of space asteroseismology) in 2029.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/reciben-el-premio-nobel-de-fisica-de-2023-dos-investigadores-financiados-con-fondos-europeos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/nobel-fisica-.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"134\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/two-eu-funded-researchers-win-2023-nobel-prize-in-physics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Two EU-funded researchers win 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>More information: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cordis.europa.eu\/article\/id\/449263-three-eu-backed-scientists-win-major-prize-in-astronomy-and-mathematics\">CORDIS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Their fascinating new insight into phenomena imperceptible to the human eye has earned mathematician Claire Voisin and astrophysicists Conny Aerts and J\u00f8rgen Christensen-Dalsgaard the prestigious Crafoord Prize in Mathematics and Astronomy.
