ABOUT ANU
The Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) is The Australian National University’s department of astronomy and astrophysics.
The RSAA is located at the Mount Stromlo Observatory (MSO), a 20-minute drive from the main Acton campus of ANU near the centre of Canberra, Australia’s capital city. We also operate Australia’s largest optical observatory, which is located near the town of Coonabarabran in the western plains of New South Wales, and hosts telescopes of research groups from around the world as well as those of RSAA and other Australian institutions.
Areas of research:
Galactic archaeology - the study of the content, dynamics and evolution of galaxies.
Cosmology - the study of the contents and evolution of the Universe as a whole.
Planetary science - the study of the formation and evolution of planets, both in the Solar System but especially around other stars.
Black hole phenomena - the discovery of the locations of black holes and the study of their interactions with their environments.
In addition, ANU has a strong program in the design and implementation of advanced scientific instrumentation.
