Neutral hydrogen and galaxy assembly in the distant Universe. This research will produce a snapshot of hydrogen gas in the Universe 6-7 billion years ago. These results, together with galaxy formation models, will tell us how galaxies are assembled to make the beautiful spirals we see today. This project is only possible because of rapid advances in programmable chip technology, part of the massive increase in the speed and complexity of integrated circuit devices.
Our Galaxy: the last hundred million years. Star formation and evolution are the fundamental processes which energize a galaxy and recycle the interstellar medium. In our Galaxy, we have the opportunity to study these processes in great detail. This project uses sensitive radio continuum images from the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope to discover how this energizing and enrichment occurs. We will use innovative machine learning techniques to identify a potentially new population of Gala ....Our Galaxy: the last hundred million years.

In our Galaxy, we have the opportunity to study these processes in great detail. This project uses sensitive radio continuum images from the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope to discover how this energizing and enrichment occurs. We will use innovative machine learning techniques to identify a potentially new population of Galactic sources and to patrol a new domain in source variability.Read moreRead less

Summary
Development of the CANGAROO III Very High Energy Gamma-ray telescope. This international project will explore the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum yet to be subjected to detailed astronomical study. CANGAROO III will span the energy range from ~100GeV to >10TeV, expanding upwards the range of satellite observations, and downwards the range accessible from previous ground-based systems. Gamma-ray observations have opened a new window on the universe and it is clear that there is much to ....Development of the CANGAROO III Very High Energy Gamma-ray telescope.

CANGAROO III will span the energy range from ~100GeV to >10TeV, expanding upwards the range of satellite observations, and downwards the range accessible from previous ground-based systems. Gamma-ray observations have opened a new window on the universe and it is clear that there is much to be discovered with this new instrument. This project will provide an Australian infrastructure contribution to support the multi-million dollar contribution of our Japanese partners, and thus provide Australian access to a key astrophysical field at very modest cost.Read moreRead less
