Monash Astrophysics
Monash astrophysicists use observations and computational modelling to understand the Universe and the celestial objects within it. Their research spans much of astrophysics, including: star formation from the first stars to the present, stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution, the Sun and solar systems, galaxies, white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes, neutrinos and gravitational waves, supernovae and gamma-ray bursts.
Many research projects are conducted using major computational and observational facilities located around the globe. Working with these research supervisors, Monash students have gained new insights into the nature of celestial objects and have published their research in major scientific journals.
