In this project, we have worked on developing and comparing empirical pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagrams of water, Earth, and terrestrial life, to quantify the terrestrial limits on the habitability of water and help identify the factors that cause some terrestrial water to be uninhabited.

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).

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.

You will use new data from the Australian SKA Pathfinder survey, GASKAP-HI to help take the temperature of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. PhD & Masters students on this project will have the opportunity to be among the first users of ASKAP.

The effective temperature is one of the most fundamental parameters of a star, and its precise determination is crucial for a number of purposes, e.g., from measuring chemical abundances and ages, to improving stellar and atmosphere models.
