In this project, we have worked on developing and comparing empirical pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagrams of water, Earth, and terrestrial life, to quantify the terrestrial limits on the habitability of water and help identify the factors that cause some terrestrial water to be uninhabited. 

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).

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.

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.

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.

This projects aim to understand new methods for estimating the stellar masses of distant galaxies using imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope.

TAROS is a remote observing software system that has been designed and implemented at RSAA. The system allows the ANU telescopes at a remote location to be operated automatically, or interactively with authenticated control via the internet.

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.

The SkyMapper Transient (SMT) Survey is a currently searching and studying supernovae and other transient sources in southern sky.

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

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.

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.

In order to further the MAVIS design, an image simulator was built in Python, allowing star catalogs to be fed in, which are used to generate realistic MAVIS images. MAVIS now requires an IFU simulator to be developed, providing realistic IFU images from star catalogs.
