Discs research group
We study discs that orbit a variety of other stars, from the youngest planet-forming discs to those that orbit the end-products of stellar evolution, white dwarfs. Our research aims to understand how these discs form and evolve, what goes on within them, and their ultimate fate. This work is done with a combination of theory, observation, and modelling. We use supercomputers, state-of-the-art observatories, and occasionally a pen and paper.
