M dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the universe, and prime targets for detecting Earth-like planets.

This research project employed the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS)  to study the extended filaments surrounding a sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in massive clusters. Integral-field spectroscopy provides the opportunity to measure the distribution, emission properties, and velocities of the emitting gas across the extent of the galaxies.

We are looking for ambitious students keen to join the project. They can be involved in different aspects, both observational and theoretical/computational

The ISM of spiral galaxies is a dynamic environment consisting of thermal gas, relativistic particles, magnetic fields, and dust. The project aims to decipher the origin of filamentary structures in the ISM using numerical simulations as well as observational data.

This project delves deep into understanding how stars create elements, contributing to unraveling the mysteries surrounding the origins of elements by extracting and tracing the element compositions of millions of stars using cutting-edge spectroscopic surveys.

In this project, you will lead development of a key sub system (optical, mechanical, computational) to enable novel ultra-high resolution, visible light instrument Pyxis: a prototype for an astrophysical space interferometer.

Supermassive black holes in the early Universe are more massive than we can presently explain. We aim to construct their demographics and reveal their origin.

The student will work with Prof. Krumholz to design and run simulations using the enzo adaptive mesh refinement code.

The student will model the gamma-ray emission around the Milky Way's central bubble.

By mapping the motions of many galaxies, this project aims to precisely measure the amount and distribution of both visible and dark matter and test Einstein’s theory of gravity.

The focus of this PhD research is the study of the early evolution of life using abundances of chemical elements in different life forms and their environments, at different temporal and spatial scales.

The goal of this project is to use new, high-resolution simulations to understand how key physical processes, like stellar feedback and gravitational instabilities, shape disk galaxies (from 11 Gyr ago to today).

In this project you will use a new cosmic ray propagation code, CRIPTIC, to model the injection, transport, and final annihilation of positrons in the interstellar medium of the inner Galaxy.
