At the Department of Astronomy, the development of computational tools spans research areas from solar physics to cosmology.

The Sun is the nearest star to us, and compared to other stars, can be studied in great detail.
The Galaxy Group at the Astronomy Department investigates how galaxies form and evolve across cosmic time. We combine ground- and space-based observations spanning the full electromagnetic spectrum with advanced theoretical modelling to understand the astrophysics that formed and shaped the galaxies we see today.

The birth and evolution of stars and planetary systems are central to understanding how our Universe, including our own Solar System, came to be.

Massive stars can end their lives in giant explosions, so-called supernovae.
