astrophysics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 89 astrophysics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Neutrino Oscillation Study with DUNE.
DUNE is a large international project to design, construct and operate a multi-kilotonne scale liquid argon detector for neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics and a search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Read more
Constraining the processes that accelerate and transport solar flare energetic electrons from the Sun’s inner atmosphere to the Earth (STFC25/EE/MPEE/JEFFREY)
The Sun is a prime laboratory for understanding high-energy astrophysics. Its proximity to Earth and transient events such as solar flares make its atmosphere a unique and opportune environment for studying all aspects of high energy astrophysics, including the production of solar flare energetic particles.

Laboratory Neutron Star Analogues – Using Terrestrial Low-temperature Condensates to Understand Cosmic Superfluidity
Formed in the supernova explosions of massive stars, neutron stars are compact remnants that exhibit extreme gravity, ultra-high densities, fast rotation, and strong magnetic fields. Read more
Modelling the upper atmospheres of brown dwarfs and exoplanets
Three Key Points. The magnetic field is a fundamental property of a cosmic body, and the recent discovery of powerful aurora-like emissions from very cool stars and brown dwarfs promises a new window into understanding these objects and exoplanets. Read more
Topology of magnetic structures in solar wind plasma
In most astrophysical plasmas collisions between plasma particles are rare and do not. lead to a considerable loss of kinetic and magnetic energy through viscous and. Read more
