Research Interests

Astronomy from Antarctica: this is the last great frontier for ground-based astronomy. Our group at UNSW is leading the Australian push to establish an optical/infrared telescope on the Antarctic plateau and has successfully run instruments at the US South Pole station since 1994. I have travelled to Antarctica to work on astronomical instruments in 1995, 1998, 2001, and 2004 (click on the links for my diaries of these trips). Seven of our graduate students have been to the Pole during this time.
Wide-field robotic telescopes: I run the UNSW Automated Patrol Telescope, at Siding Spring Observatory, about 500 km from Sydney. The Automated Patrol Telescope is currently working on an extra-solar planet transit search (see below for recent results). I am also collaborating with Prof. Carl Akerlof's group
(University of Michigan) on a 3rd-generation robotic telescope, ROTSE-IIIa. The photo shows, from left to right, the Upsalla, ROTSE-IIIa, and the Automated Patrol Telescope. ROTSE-IIIa has successfully detected several optical transients from gamma ray bursts.
Instrumentation & computing: my long term interest has been in electronics, optics, and computing (both computer hardware and software) with the goal of building new and interesting astronomical instruments. I am a contributor to the Linux kernel, and program mostly in C, Java, perl, and python.

Opportunities for internships, practicums, research training, work experience, apprenticeships, scholarships

About once a week I get an e-mail from someone asking me to supervise them for an internship, undergraduate research program, work experience, etc. Please note that I do not have any money available to pay for your travel/visa/accommodation/scholarship/university fees/living expenses/medical insurance etc. I will only reply to e-mails if (1) you have all your own funding, and (2) provide evidence of an exceptionally strong undergraduate record. You should also search the UNSW website for information on Practicums.

Recent research results, June 2006: the possible detection of Kuiper Belt Objects

With my PhD student George Georgevits and Will Saunders of the Anglo-Australian Observatory, we believe we have detected the signature of hundreds of Kuiper Belt Objects through stellar occultations. George presented the results at a workshop in Catania in early July 2006. More details are in this News Focus article from Science, and in my interview on Robyn Williams' Science show. Image credit: DAN DURDA/FIAAA showing the collision between two Kuiper Belt Objects.

Recent research results, June 2006: a prompt optical detection of a gamma-ray burst by ROTSE-IIIa

On 5 June 2006, the UNSW ROTSE-IIIa telescope at Siding Spring Observatory responded to an alert from the Swift satellite and within 5.4 seconds had taken its first image. We reported our detection to the GCN e-mail exploder within 9 minutes. The figure shows the ROTSE-IIIa observations in red, the Swift/BAT gamma-ray observations in blue, and the Swift x-ray observations in green. This is just one of a handful of gamma-ray bursts that have been observed in the optical at such early times. The burst has a redshift of 3.8.

Recent research results, May 2006: the discovery of a significant K7V eclipsing binary system with the Automated Patrol Telescope

Here is the light curve of UNSW TR-2, obtained with the Automated Patrol Telescope. Spectroscopic follow-up shows that this is an eclipsing binary system with two K7Ve stars. Only 6 other similar systems are known that give well-constrained radii and masses for such low mass stars. This is important since theory underestimates the radii of these stars by 10%. UNSW TR-2 also shows an asymmetry in the timing of the secondary eclipse which could be due to the presence of a planetary system. More details are in our MNRAS paper Young et al., 2006, A New Detached K7 Dwarf Eclipsing Binary System, MNRAS, 370, 1529–1533.

The following image shows what the binary star system UNSW-TR-2 could look like rising above the Malabar headland in Sydney. The star diameters, separation, and colours are approximately correct.

Recent research results, September 2004: the discovery of superb astronomical seeing during wintertime at Dome C, Antarctica

Using a completely robotic observatory, the AASTINO, built at UNSW, we made the first wintertime astronomical seeing measurements from Dome C in 2004. These showed that the average seeing was 0.27 arcseconds, and the seeing was better than 0.15 arcseconds for 25% of the time. More details are in our Nature paper: Lawrence, Ashley, Tokovinin, and Travouillon, 2004, Exceptional astronomical seeing conditions above Dome C in Antarctica, Nature, 431, 278–281, and on our web site.

The AASTINO is the green structure in the image below, which shows Concordia station at Dome C, Antarctica.

The image on the left below is a simulation of a star field as observed from the best existing observatory sites; the image in the middle is the same star field as observed from Dome C. To see as many stars from a mid-latitude observatory, you would need to build a telescope 2.5 times bigger, which would cost ten times as much, and would give the image on the right, which makes the stars look brighter but doesn't improve the sharpness of the image.
