Ambitious students will investigate optimal ways to measure the stellar properties (eg Teff, age, mass) and chemical composition of this immense amount of data.

Dust in the Milky Way affects astronomical observations. Here we try too improve our knowledge of its distribution.

In this project you will develop use and further develop the Chronostar tool to identify thousands of previously unknown young stars near the sun - ideal targets for future exoplanet detection campaigns.

Using both the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) on the ANU 2.3m telescope and the 1.4 GHz radio band on the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the student will address how the radio jets from the supermassive black hole interact with the Seyfert host galaxy to affect the evolution of the galaxy.

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

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.
