You will model stellar spectra with spots to improve the spectrum analysis for some of the active stars observed by the million-star spectroscopic GALAH Survey.

This project aims to research and potentially develop the design of calibration light sources for use in the MAVIS instrument (currently being designed for the ESO VLT).

In this project, the student would study both the spectral and structural properties of the thermal electron density and magnetic fields in the ionised gas phase of the Milky Way.

In this project we will be able to investigate the environmental effect on star formation and galaxy evolution in individual galaxies falling into the cluster through radio observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN).

The main aim of this project is to parallelise an existing Fortran program to take advantage of the parallel processing environment of the supercomputer raijin, located on the ANU campus.

This project will study red spirals in detail, and aim to understand what levels of star formation persist and for how long. We will use optical and infrared data to measure current rates of star formation and find out what we have been missing due to dust extinction.

The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) requires real-time phasing of its primary mirror segments. Each instrument of GMT is required to provide phasing telemetry from guide-star images.

The SkyMapper Transient (SMT) Survey is a currently searching and studying supernovae and other transient sources in southern sky.

This project is intended to search for the magnetic field signature of the Magellanic halo.

This project will simulate observations of the magnetic fields of a Milky Way-like galaxy from a recent, high-resolution simulation. The goal is to identify effective ways to reconstruct the 3D magnetic field geometry of this simulated galaxy using observables projected onto the 2D sky.

In order to further the MAVIS design, an image simulator was built in Python, allowing star catalogs to be fed in, which are used to generate realistic MAVIS images. MAVIS now requires an IFU simulator to be developed, providing realistic IFU images from star catalogs.
