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 exoplanets. Faculty participate in the Kepler Mission and ground-based Doppler surveys to detect planets beyond our solar system. 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 - Investigations center on observable stars within the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, with special attention to binary star systems and blue stragglers. These studies aim to connect theoretical models of stellar evolution with observed stellar characteristics across different cosmic environments.
