Extragalactic Astronomy

Professor Pauline Barmby Dr. Pauline Barmby
Research Areas: My research is in the investigation of galaxy histories. Using multi-wavelength imaging from telescopes on the ground and in space, I study recent star formation, the properties of star clusters, and mass-losing stars in nearby galaxies.
