Ambitious students will investigate optimal ways to measure the stellar properties (eg Teff, age, mass) and chemical composition of this immense amount of data.

In this project you will use existing and new data to understand the nature of filamentary structure in galaxies and how they relate to magnetic fields.

Measuring asteroid properties with the Kepler Space Telescope to find Future Asteroid Mining Targets

This project aims to measure both distances and velocities for 100,000 galaxies and so map the visible and dark matter within a billion light-years.

The successful applicant will join the ANU team and will participate in the design and testing of the Adaptive Optics Tracking and Pushing (AOTP) system.

Study of the statistics of turbulent, magnetised gases, relevant for the structure and evolution of the interstellar medium, the formation and evolution of stars and galaxies, using a combination of supercomputer simulations, theory, analytical calculations, and comparison to observations.

The kinematics and morphology of typically massive disk galaxies has changed dramatically over the last ~9 Gyrs.

The goal of this project is to make predictions for the observable gamma-ray signatures of different plasma physics models for cosmic ray transport.

In each project, students will utilise data from some of the world’s most powerful radio telescopes, including ASKAP, Parkes, and the Jansky VLA to study the magnetised gas in and around the radio lobes inflated by supermassive black holes.

The aim of this research is to determine the correlation of the tip-tilt to confirm that the downlink can be used as a reliable reference source for adaptive optics applied to the uplink signal.

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.

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.

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.
