We are part of the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Western University. We study the contents and properties nearby galaxies, trying to figure out the relationships between the stars, gas, dust, and star clusters they contain, and how they make new stars. Using observations from telescopes on Earth and in space, we map out star-forming regions, carbonaceous molecules, and X-ray-emitting binary stars.

Our research group in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Western University studies nearby galaxies: the stars, gas, dust, and star clusters they contain, how they make new stars, and the relationship between these. We use observations from telescopes on Earth and in space to map out star-forming regions, carbonaceous molecules, and X-ray-emitting binary stars, among others.

Looking for Karin Sandstrom’s awesome research group at the University of California at San Diego?
