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.
