Astronomy Departments In The University Of Cambridge
The University of Cambridge has three large astronomy departments as follows: * The Institute of Astronomy, concentrating on theoretical astrophysics and optical, infrared and X-ray observations. * The Cavendish Astrophysics Group, concentrating on radio and submillimetre observations and instrumentation, observational cosmology and all aspects of astronomical interferometry, and operating the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory. * The Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and Isaac Newton Institute in the Faculty of Mathematics, include theoretical astrophysics and cosmology amongst other disciplines There is frequent collaboration between departments as research interests overlap. The Kavli Institute for Cosmology at Cambridge (KICC) is operated jointly by the first two departments, with close connections to the third. It is located on the same site as the Institute of Astronomy. In 2013 the Cavendish Astrophysics group relocated to a new building, the ...

Institute Of Astronomy, Cambridge
The Institute of Astronomy (IoA) is the largest of the three astronomy departments in the University of Cambridge, and one of the largest astronomy sites in the United Kingdom. Around 180 academics, postdocs, visitors and assistant staff work at the department. Research at the department is made in a number of scientific areas, including exoplanets, stars, star clusters, cosmology, gravitational-wave astronomy, the high-redshift universe, AGN, galaxies and galaxy clusters. This is a mixture of observational astronomy, over the entire electromagnetic spectrum, computational theoretical astronomy, and analytic theoretical research. The Kavli Institute for Cosmology is also located on the department site. This institute has an emphasis on ''The Universe at High Redshifts''. The Cavendish Astrophysics Group are based in the Battcock Centre, a building in the same grounds. History The institute was formed in 1972 from the amalgamation of earlier institutions: * The University ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cavendish Astrophysics Group
The Cavendish Astrophysics Group (formerly the Radio Astronomy Group) is based at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. The group operates all of the telescopes at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory except for the 32m MERLIN telescope, which is operated by Jodrell Bank. The group is the second largest of three astronomy departments in the University of Cambridge. Instruments under development by the group * The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) - several modules of this international project * The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MRO Interferometer) * The SKA Instruments in service * The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI) * A Heterodyne Array Receiver for B-band (HARP-B) at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope * The Planck Surveyor Previous instruments * The CLOVER telescope * The Very Small Array * The 5 km Ryle Telescope * The Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope (COAST) * The Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope * The Cambrid ...
