Master of Science in Physics and Astronomy Course-based

The Astrophysics Group at McMaster provides a wide range of expertise and a vital research environment for staff, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting colleagues. All of its faculty members are national and world leaders in their subdisciplines, and have wide connections with other groups and international organizations in astronomy.

Our observational astronomers use telescopes all over the world including the Gemini twin 8-meter giant optical telescopes in Chile and Hawaii, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, the telescopes in the SMARTS2 Consortium in Chile, and the Hubble Space Telescope and other new satellite observatories. Our graduate students learn to use these facilities in close contact with their supervisors, and to analyze the frontier data from them. Astrophysics theory students at McMaster can expect to use and develop tools for the most advanced computer modelling of astrophysical processes such as galaxy formation in the early universe, star formation, protoplanetary disks, and to test the underlying physical processes by simulating these situations. We take full advantage of close links with the local SHARCnet high-speed computing network in which we are central members. All of our graduate students enjoy access to modern computing hardware and high-level systems support that is unexcelled in Canada.
