The observational astronomy group at UGA studies a wide range of astrophysical objects and phenomena using a wide range of observational methods.
We work on young stars, nearby stellar moving groups, exoplanets, star forming regions, data mining of huge astronomical catalogs, and hot and cold gas clouds and supersonic shocks within our Galaxy. We take and analyze radio, optical, infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray data
In order to better understand the observations, we perform detailed computer simulations of fluid motions and spectral signitures and we compute some of the atomic/molecular parameters needed for spectral simulations.
