PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in supernovae, dark energy, astronomy, astrophysics, and space science . This project, supervised by Professor Mark Sullivan and Dr Philip Wiseman , uses new data from the Rubin Observatory , including the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and the Time Domain Extragalactic Survey (TiDES) on 4MOST. The research focuses on analysing tens of thousands of Type Ia supernovae to investigate the nature and possible evolution of dark energy. You will...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in astronomy / astrophysics / physics focused on what regulates star formation in distant galaxies . The project investigates how galactic winds driven by stars and supermassive black holes affect the gas that fuels star formation around 10 billion years ago . You will work with KMOS spectroscopy from ESO’s Very Large Telescope and ALMA observations of cold molecular gas, combining existing datasets with archival data and new observations. The res...
