Your application must be completed and submitted to the Board of Graduate Studies as soon as possible; students who are applying for admission in October 2016 should make sure it arrives sufficiently early that we can assess it at the same time as we receive our internal Astrophysics Group application form (i.e. by March 2016, see below). ...

... Resembling a gigantic hubcap in space, a 3,700 light-year-diameter dust disk encircles a 300 million solar-mass black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7052. ... Because the front end of the disk eclipses more stars than the back, it appears darker. ... Despite its size, the disk is 100 times less massive than the black hole. ... The bright spot in the center of the disk is the combined light of stars that have crowded around the black hole due to its strong gravitational pull. ...

... Supernovae physics (from Wikipedia ): A supernova is a stellar explosion that creates an extremely luminous object that is initially made of plasma ionized form of matter. ... The explosion expels much or all of a star's material at a velocity of up to a tenth the speed of light, driving a shock wave into the surrounding interstellar gas. ... Working on a time series of images in the Large Magellanic Cloud he detected a flaring star, possibly a supernova located in a distant galaxy behind the LMC. ...

This animation shows a galaxy cluster with two mass concentrations (the pink shading indicates the projected mass density) lensing a background field of faint blue galaxies. ... Inside the Einstein ring radius one has radial arcs, and right in the center of the cluster there are demagnified images. The highest magnifications occur at the Einstein ring radius, giving the large tangential arcs. ... Abell 2218 and CL2244-02 are clusters with tangential arcs. ... Tutorial : Part 1 | Part 2 | ...
