Theory Group

In the Theory Group at MSSL we apply physics and computational methods to seek general insight into exotic phenomena that are studied in space science. Theoretical modelling informs the interpretation of practical observation, while observation stimulates and constrains theories. At MSSL, our particular interests include: accretion onto degenerate stars, cosmology, dark matter, galaxy dynamics & formation, gamma-ray bursts, isolated neutron stars, jets in active galactic nuclei, radiative transfer, ultra-compact binary systems, ultraluminous X-ray sources, X-ray sources in galaxies.
