Theme Black hole phenomenaStructure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more Read more Radio spectra of galaxies undergoing feedback by relativistic jets The main aim of this project is to parallelise an existing Fortran program to take advantage of the parallel processing environment of the supercomputer raijin, located on the ANU campus. Theme Black hole phenomenaStructure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more People Professor Geoff Bicknell, Supervisor 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. Theme Structure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more People Associate Professor Christian Wolf, Supervisor Read more Reinforcement learning for phasing giant telescopes The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) requires real-time phasing of its primary mirror segments. Each instrument of GMT is required to provide phasing telemetry from guide-star images.

Theme Structure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more Student intake Open for Bachelor, Honours, PhD students People Professor Naomi McClure-Griffiths, Supervisor Read more Simulated observations of galactic wind metal loading The goal of this project is to build a software pipeline that can take simulations of galactic winds, such as the one shown in the figure, and make simulated observational images from them that can be compared directly to telescopic data. Theme Stellar and planetary astronomyStructure and evolution of the Cosmos Read more Student intake Open for Honours students People Professor Mark Krumholz, Supervisor Read more Simulated Observations of the Magnetic Fields of the Milky Way This project will simulate observations of the magnetic fields of a Milky Way-like galaxy from a recent, high-resolution simulation. The goal is to identify effective ways to reconstruct the 3D magnetic field geometry of this simulated galaxy using observables projected onto the 2D sky.
