Expertise

Leeds has substantial expertise in high resolution observations of star forming regions covering a variety of wavelengths and techniques, including extensive use of radio interferometery. The star formation group will perform simulations of the radio recombination and H I line emission from a variety of protoplanetary discs, winds and jet models. Leeds is also a world-leading centre for cosmic ray research with Prof Watson as the spokesperson for the international Pierre Auger Observatory. Members of this group will perform simulations of the radio emission from ultra-highenergy cosmic rays.
