5.1	1	The University of Helsinki astrophysics research group focuses on observations of stellar magnetic activity and its relation to exoplanets. The goal is to use these observations for a better general understanding of the magnetic activity of solar type stars, and in particular the Sun's activity. We also investigate the influence of a stars activity on the detectability of exoplanets. We use the following observations:
1.1	2
5.1	3	* High resolution spectroscopy from e.g. the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) and telescopes of the European Southern Observatory (ESO)
	4	* Spectropolarimetry from e.g. the NOT and ESO
	5	* Ground based photometry from e.g. Automated Photometric Telescopes
	6	* Space based high precision photometry from e.g. the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
	7	* Ground-based Ca II H&K monitoring surveys
	8	* Radiocarbon measurements from tree rings
4.1	9
5.1	10	Methods we are using include Doppler imaging, Zeeman-Doppler imaging (ZDI) and time series analysis. Radiocarbon measurements are used to detect historical solar energetic particle events.
