Poposed research is divided into six projects; their respective objectives are listed below in no particular order, given their equal importance to the Centre's research portfolio. The goals within each project are presented in order of priority.... Read More about Astrophysics at the University of Hull.

The Galactic Terrestrial Zone in a Cosmological Context Jul 17, 2017 - Sep 1, 2018
The mineralogy of terrestrial planets is controlled by the elemental ratios of carbon-to-oxygen and magnesium-to-silicon. Earth-like planets are shaped by rock-forming oxide species, predominantly in the form of magnesium silicates such as olivine an...

Undergraduate Bursary: Star Formation Quenching Efficiency in Filaments of Galaxies Jul 1, 2018 - Sep 30, 2018
Galaxy evolution is typically studied in discrete environments – usually within galaxy clusters or groups where the galaxy-galaxy interaction rate is high, in voids where the galaxies are largely unaffected by others of their ilk, or within the conte...

Binding energy of biomolecules on ice-covered grains in the interstellar medium Jul 1, 2018 - Aug 31, 2018
The discovery of glycine, one of the most basic amino acid, on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by Rosetta ESA mission has sparked interest in studying the adsorption of molecules of biological interest on interstellar ices. Unfortunately, there is cu... Read More about Binding energy of biomolecules on ice-covered grains in the interstellar medium.
