Lyra Cao's research focuses on stars, particularly how their magnetic activity, rotation, and internal structure change over time. Work includes studying starspots, stellar rotation rates, magnetic fields in young and old stars, and developing computational tools like pynucastro for modeling nuclear reactions relevant to stellar astrophysics. This research draws on large survey datasets such as Kepler, TESS, APOGEE, and Gaia to characterize stars in clusters and binary systems.
Publication output was minimal before 2019, rose notably starting in 2022-2023 with a peak of 16 papers in 2023, and has remained relatively steady at a higher level (6-7 per year) through 2024-2026.
