In this project you will develop use and further develop the Chronostar tool to identify thousands of previously unknown young stars near the sun - ideal targets for future exoplanet detection campaigns.

We identified four very promising HAT-South candidates based on their photomet- ric and reconnaissance spectroscopic measurements. In addition, of the candidates followed-up by our spectroscopic observations, 26 have been passed on for high resolution radial velocity measurements. These promising candidates will be followed up with 4-8m class telescopes to be confirmed as true transiting planets.

The ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) is collaborating with the National Astronomical Observatory Japan to develop a next-generation Ground Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) system for installation on the 8-meter optical-infrared Subaru telescope at the summit of Maunakea, Hawaii.

This technical project aims to develop a new approach for fitting absorption and emission spectra simultaneously, employing Gradient Descent and Bayesian methods.

Are you ready to blend academic and commercial experience? Can you dive into details and also see the bigger picture? Are you interested in seeing how your knowledge can be applied to real-world outcomes? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Do you enjoy working with instrumentation? Are you interested in using data to inform real-world decisions? Are you an independent thinker who loves to solve problems? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Or team is working with major national and international detector vendors to develop novel new sensor systems that solve tricky problems not only for astronomy but also for more down-to-Earth issues such as Bushfire Hazard management from Low Earth Orbit remote sensing.

CSIRO has a cold spray research group which is developing cold sprayed Invar. This project will be developing an optical metrology setup to measure the creep of the cold sprayed Invar in collaboration with CSIRO Lab22 in Clayton, Victoria.

This project aims to address the potential of Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) as highly nonlinear optical elements, including their potential use in pyramid wavefront sensing.

Using both the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m telescope and the 1.4 GHz radio band on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the student will address how the radio jets from the supermassive black hole interact with the Seyfert host galaxy to affect the evolution of the galaxy.

Accreted stellar populations are comprised of the remnants of destroyed galaxies, and often dominate the 'stellar haloes' of galaxies such as the Milky Way.
