The Astrophysics Group of UCL's Department of Physics & Astronomy is one of the largest in the UK. Our research areas cover massive stars, star formation, interstellar and circumstellar processes, astrochemistry, cosmology, galaxy formation and evolution, extra-solar planets, atmospheric physics and instrumentation. Our main research topics are listed below.
Research Fellowships - We are keen to support a limited number of strong candidates in applying for Research Fellowships.
Group Publications - Here you'll find links to a huge range of publications from across the group.
The Astrophysics Instrumentation Group or Optical Science Laboratory (OSL)'s research focuses on the development of novel instrumentation for astronomy and industry.
The UCL Cosmology Group has a wide range of interests, spanning from the basic properties and evolution of the large scale structure in the Universe all the way back to the initial fluctuations that seeded this structure.
Our research includes star formation in our own and other galaxies, the astrophysics of gas and dust in nebular and circumstellar environments and studies of the properties of massive and evolved stars.
Our research includes studies of the dynamical, stellar and star formation properties of low- intermediate- and high-mass galaxies over a wide range of redshifts.
