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.

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.

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

This project requires significant data analysis efforts and some observational and theoretical efforts.

Mapping azimuthal variations in metals across cosmic time

With this project we will be using the newly automated ANU 2.3m telescope and the powerful WiFeS optical spectrograph to perform a time-series measurement of luminous active galaxies (AGN) using the technique of Quasar Reverberation Mapping.

A student undertaking this project will investigate the potential customisations of lenslet arrays afforded by optical meta-surfaces, and propose designs to be fabricated in the Research School of Physics at ANU.
