The Astrophysics Research Institute has published almost 700 papers attracting 14,000 citations. Browse through our journal articles.
The Astrophysics Research Institute specialist subject areas include theoretical galaxy formation, time domain astrophysics, stellar populations and astronomical instrumentation. Discover more about each of these areas.
Within the time domain astrophysics research group, we are involved in major observational survey projects. We work on a variety of explosive transients, including galactic and extragalactic novae, type la supernovae, core collapse supernovae, and gamma rays bursts. The Liverpool Telescope is the workhorse of the group. Find out more about our research.
The computational and theoretical galaxy formation group within the Astrophysics Research Institute uses state-of-the-art simulations on supercomputing facilities. Find out more about our research.
By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.
