MSSL’s research into compact objects has established a rich heritage stretching back to the earliest days of high-energy astrophysics, including strong instrumentation roles in a gamut of high-energy facilities. We lead the field in the interpretation of the resulting data through the combination of our observational and theoretical expertise. We established world-leading positions in the areas of X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables and isolated neutron stars and have built increasingly strong positions in the competitive gamma-ray burst and ultra-luminous X-ray source fields.
