The stellar astrophysics group studies the formation of stars and their planetary systems, the properties of stars, and how stars effect their environments. We pursue observational programmes in the X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, infrared, mm and radio bands using ground-based (e.g. JCMT, eMerlin) and space-borne observatories (Kepler, Herschel, XMM-Newton). By combining photometric, spectroscopic and imaging observations we unravel the interactions between the stars and their environments, and the processes within the stars themselves. We additionally pursue theoretical and computational studies of how Sun-like stars form in collapsing clouds, and how low-mass stars, brown dwarfs and planets form in protostellar discs. Finally, we also investigate the evolution of massive stars and supernovae.
Applicants need a recognised UK first degree, second class honours or above; or a UK Masters degree or equivalent qualification.
