About the course

Tufts University research in astrophysics is led by Professors Danilo Marchesini and Anna Sajina. Both are primarily observers in the field of extragalactic astronomy, although they ly collaborate with theorists. The main goals of their research activities is to understand:

　　how galaxies formed after the Big Bang and how their properties have changed with cosmic time,

　　what physical processes are responsible for the inferred changes in the galaxies' properties,

　　the co-evolution between the host galaxy and its central super-massive black hole, and

　　the dusty phases of galaxy formation and black hole growth.

　　Research in these areas involve faculty, postdocs, visitors, graduate and undergraduate students. To pursue their science goals, Tufts astronomers, faculty, and students make use of many of the world's leading space- and ground-based observational facilities, including the Hubble, Spitzer, and Herschel space telescopes, the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray satellites, the W.M. Keck Observatory, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) VLT, the Subaru telescope, the Gemini Observatory, the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array radio telescope, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
