Theme Black hole phenomenaStructure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more Read more Red spirals - how star formation fades in galaxies 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.
