The star formation and stellar populations group works on many aspects of star formation, stellar evolution and the exploration of stellar populations for Galactic and extragalactic studies. Our research spans the earliest stages of star-formation in proto-stellar clouds, the role of feedback from massive young stars on their surroundings, the formation and evolution of dense stellar clusters, detailed calculations of how stars evolve, and how ancient globular clusters relate to their host galaxies.
Members of the star formation and stellar populations group are involved in a number of major international observational survey projects such as APOGEE, MALT90, HOPS SUMO, and the RMS survey. Additionally, we lead the BaSTI (A Bag of Stellar Tracks and Isochrones) project.
