The Astrophysics group at UCL is involved in using world-class, ground-based telescopes to carry out research in several areas. We study how exoplanetary systems form from clouds of dust and gas, work to detect and characterize mature planetary systems, and also track their signatures over the long term through dynamical processes at later stages of stellar evolution. Group members also study how stars form and die, and especially those systems that explode and contribute large amounts of dust back into the interstellar medium and contribute to the next generation of stars. Galaxy evolution is also a cornerstone of research in the UCL Astrophysics group, and we study both the formation of galaxies at large scales and during the early history of the Universe, as well as how cold gas and dust contributes to the growth and properties of observed galaxies. We participate in DESI-UK, which will observe 30 million galaxies over a wide range of redshifts to measure the accelerated expansion of the Universe and learn about dark energy.

UCL的天体物理小组参与使用世界一流的地面望远镜在多个领域进行研究。我们研究了尘埃和气体云中如何形成超球星系统，以检测和表征成熟的行星系统，并通过在恒星进化的后期阶段通过动力学过程在长期中跟踪其签名。小组成员还研究恒星如何形成和死亡，尤其是那些爆炸并贡献大量灰尘回到星际介质并为下一代恒星做出贡献的系统。星系进化也是UCL天体物理学组研究的基石，我们研究了大尺度和宇宙早期历史上的星系的形成，以及冷气和尘埃对观察到的星系的生长和特性的贡献。我们参加了Desi-UK，它将在各种红移中观察3000万个星系，以衡量宇宙的加速扩张并了解黑能。
