Title:
Monash Honours Observation/Theory Project
Project Description:
Honours astrophysics students in the School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University observe the surface brightness profiles of globular clusters with the aim of understanding why Nature distributes the stars in such clusters the way it does. By the end of their projects they will have made empirical models using their data, and mathematical models using Newton's laws of motion and gravity.
