Utah Astronomy
the astro group — department of physics and astronomy
INSCC 4th floor
Welcome! This webpage, hosted by the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Utah, describes some of the people, projects and activities of the Astro Group here at The U.
Overview
Our group is a new and growing team of observers and theorists. Our research expertise now includes cosmology, galactic and stellar astronomy, high energy physics and particle astrophysics, as well as planet formation and relativistic astrophysics. We have access to facilities such as the Hubble Space Telescope, Keck Observatory, and a 35,000-processor NASA supercomputer. Our University is a member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and VERITAS collaborations.
Astronomy at the U
In addition to our research, we provide courses to help graduate and undergrad students come up to speed in cutting-edge research. Opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students abound! If you are a prospective graduate student please check out our grad program. If you are an undergraduate with an interest in astronomy, explore a minor in astronomy to open up your Universe.We are...
