We study the formation and development of galaxies using the latest observations from some of the newest and most powerful instruments available. (Research Faculty) Whether to witness meteors entering our atmosphere or to view the Universe in new ways, we develop
state-of-the-art instruments to achieve our goals. (Research Faculty)
To study the complex dynamical systems of the ISM or the circumstellar material surrounding massive stars, we use innovative computational modeling techniques. (Research Faculty) Our Western Meteor Physics Group focuses on studying the interaction of small Solar System bodies with the Earth using a variety of observational techniques. (Research Faculty) We have particular expertise at Western in theoretical and computational methods for modeling interstellar gas dynamics and star formation. (Research Faculty) From dusty atmospheres to magnetic fields, we research various properties of the stars in our
Galaxy. (Research Faculty) Applying complex theoretical methods with increasingly powerful computers allow us to tackle some of the major problems in astrophysics. (Research Faculty)Astronomy Research
