Solar-stellar Connection

Plot of Star Variability

The optical observation of the erratically variable activity cycles of the solar-type stars in open star clusters will allow us to create a catalog of this activity as a guide for the Sun's future activity. PRISM will enable us to simultaneously observe several thousand stars with very high photometric precision or a smaller number of stars via multi-object spectroscopy to monitor variations in the stars' colors.
