astrophysicists
Stellar phenomena researchers
Astrophysicists are scientists who study the physical properties and behavior of celestial objects—stars, planets, galaxies, black holes.
Where astronomers map and observe, astrophysicists explain the underlying physics: how stars burn, how galaxies form, why the universe expands.
The astrophysicists analyzed data from the telescope to understand the star's composition.
