To investigate the role of mergers with smaller galaxies in shaping our Milky Way by using the data from stellar surveys and cosmological simulations of the NIHAO suite to identify stellar remnants of galaxies that merged with the Milky Way and explain their role in building the main components of the Milky Way.

This project will deliver a benchmark sample of stellar abundances for galactic archaeology for hundreds of thousands of stars.

The goal of the project would be to analyse the spectra and determine the underlying reason for the different spectra of the two orbit families.

This research project employs the WiFeS spectrograph on the ANU 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring to measure nebular chemical abundances in isolated gas-rich dwarf galaxies in the Local Volume.

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.

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.

The successful applicant will join the ANU team and will assist with the development of instrumentation for the optical communication team
