As an MPhil student you will work with increased independence, under the direction of a supervisory panel of experts in the field. Your research will make an original and important contribution to human knowledge, research and development. The MPhil program offers students access to state-of-the-art optical, infra-red, radio, and computational facilities and draws on the expertise of some 50 RSAA astronomers, as well as researchers at CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility, the Australian Astronomical Observatory, and collaborators around the world. The main research areas at RSAA include: - Observational and theoretical aspects of extra-solar planets - Stellar atmospheres and evolution - The interstellar medium - Galactic structure and stellar populations - The Magellanic Clouds and dwarf galaxies - The formation and evolution of galaxies - Supernovae and gamma-ray bursts - Cosmology
