In this project, the student would study both the spectral and structural properties of the thermal electron density and magnetic fields in the ionised gas phase of the Milky Way.

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.

Our team is looking for enthusiastic Honours, Masters and PhD students with a strong background in Maths, Physics, or Computer Science who want to work on some of the most important questions currently discussed in near-field cosmology community.

This project is intended to search for the magnetic field signature of the Magellanic halo.

This project will build on work within the Dark-ages, Reionization And Galaxy-formation Observables Numerical Simulation project (DRAGONS).

Star Clusters as Engines of Ionisation and their HII Regions in NGC 7793

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.

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

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.
