... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Galaxy warps: statistics, properties and origin . Spiral galaxies at z~1: radial and vertical structure of stellar disks, statistics of interactions . Surface photometry and kinematics, dynamical modeling . Observational cosmology . Joomla Counter since Sep 1997

... Now we're getting ready for the Australian SKA Pathfinder ( ASKAP ) and the Square Kilometre Array ( SKA ) itself. I co-lead the Galactic ASKAP survey, GASKAP, and the Polarisation survey, POSSUM. I have roles in SKA science planning, including membership on two SKA Science working groups (HI and The Galaxy), the SKA Science and Engineering Advisory Committee, Australia New Zealand SKA Coordination Committee (ANZSCC) and ANZSCC's Science Advisory Committee. ...

... Research . ... GPI Data Pipeline . ... GPI . ... My research focuses on high contrast imaging of circumstellar material: disks, envelopes, jets, and substellar companions. ... The second, harder challenge is achieving sufficiently high contrast: scattered light from circumstellar dust is faint, usually less than a percent of the total flux, sometimes far less. ... In addition to planet detection, GPI will also feature a polarimetric imaging mode for studies of circumstellar dust disks. ...

... More than 300 surface reconstructions are already known for pure Si surface and Si surface with adsorbate. Study of their properties by the methods of surface physics reveal numerous interesting phenomena including various phase transitions accompanied by changes of Fermi-surface topology, development of the charge-density wave, etc . ... The charge-density wave (CDW) develops in materials with a chain-like crystal structure at temperatures below the Peierls transition temperature. ...
