Astronomy Research at the Open University 2006 - 2011
Lead Research Organisation:
The Open University
Department Name: Physical Sciences
Abstract
The OU Astronomy Research Group seeks Rolling Grant support to bring together its program of observational, theoretical, laboratory and space based astronomical research on Star Formation, Exoplanets, Astrochemistry, Time Domain Astrophysics, and the properties of the binary star poulation. The program also supports our increasing involvement in high profile ground based projects (SuperWASP, SALT) and space missions (ASTRO-F, HERSCHEL, DARWIN, plus SPICA and a future ESA far-IR space interferometer)
