The Astronomy Department provides graduate programs for earning M.S., M.S.T., or Ph.D. degrees in astronomy. Planetary Systems - Research focuses on observational and theoretical aspects of planet formation, the dynamic changes in planetary systems, and discovering and analyzing exoplanets. Faculty participate in the Kepler Mission and conduct ground-based Doppler surveys to detect exoplanets. Additional research explores the formation and orbital patterns of interplanetary dust and small celestial bodies within our solar system and neighboring star systems. Stellar populations - Observational research examines individual stars in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. Special attention is given to binary star systems and blue stragglers. These investigations aim to connect theoretical models of stellar structure and evolution with observed stellar characteristics across diverse cosmic environments.
