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.

We will use simulations of the Milky Way to make predictions for SKA.

We aim to build an innovative framework to leverage future 21-cm experiments to observe cosmic dawn, and to forecast the optimal constraints on dark matter.

You will use new data from the Australian SKA Pathfinder survey, GASKAP-HI to help take the temperature of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds. PhD & Masters students on this project will have the opportunity to be among the first users of ASKAP.  

The effective temperature is one of the most fundamental parameters of a star, and its precise determination is crucial for a number of purposes, e.g., from measuring chemical abundances and ages, to improving stellar and atmosphere models.

M dwarfs are the most abundant stars in the universe, and prime targets for detecting Earth-like planets.

We have a variety of projects that will use the new GASKAP-HI data to study the structure and temperature of hydrogen in the Magellanic System. 

This research project employed the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS)  to study the extended filaments surrounding a sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in massive clusters. Integral-field spectroscopy provides the opportunity to measure the distribution, emission properties, and velocities of the emitting gas across the extent of the galaxies.
