Astronomers have detected photometric images provided by the Corot satellite motion in the area of \u200b\u200bmassive stars, those that are much larger than the sun and rotation quickly, which will improve the knowledge of the internal structure of the major stars of the Universe.
analysis of CoRoT data is done using mathematical and sophisticated computer, some of which have been developed at the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia.
The results of this research was presented this week CoRoT Congress 2009, held in Paris, the international meeting on the CoRoT mission organized after the satellite launch, December 2006.
Scientists can not access the interior of stars, only have the ability to observe its surface. Therefore, to deepen the knowledge of the structure of stars, the astronomers analyzed the so-called beats, which, like earthquakes on Earth is the only way to get to know more details of its inner part. The stars may change size and shape.
