The Milky Way's magnetic field is critical for shaping the structure and evolution of the galaxy, regulating star formation, and transporting cosmic rays. Understanding the interaction between the magnetic field and atomic HI gas is key to unraveling the galaxy's dynamics and evolution.

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.

This honours research developed numerical models of the inner radio structure of Centaurus A using the FLASH relativistic hydrodynamics code, and compared the predictions with observations of the galaxy.

You will model stellar spectra with spots to improve the spectrum analysis for some of the active stars observed by the million-star spectroscopic GALAH Survey.

This has wide potential applications to chemical and dynamical studies of galaxies from two-dimensional  integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopy.

We have recently demonstrated a novel technique to recover sub-dwarf M stars from the combination of VISTA infra-red and SkyMapper photometry.

This Honours project was designed to complement the High Efficiency and Resolution Multi-Element Spectroscopy (HERMES) project being undertake at the AAT.

Using ANU's SkyMapper Telescope we follow up on gravitational-wave events from LIGO/Virgo to characterise the ejecta from neutron-star collisions.
