About this Event
3941 O'Hara Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15213
The Astrophysics and Cosmology group generally supports around twenty graduate students and one or two postdoctoral researchers. We also encourage undergraduate involvement in research. The STEPUP program (Survey of Transiting Exoplanets at the University of Pittsburgh) uses a telescope at Allegheny Observatory to discover planets orbiting candidate stars identified by the Kepler satellite, and is run entirely by undergraduates.
Group members participate in activities of PITT PACC and organize workshops on astrophysical topics. We hold regular Astro Coffee meetings to discuss new discoveries and research results; these meetings are open to anyone who is interested. Members of the group also organize educational activities at Allegheny Observatory, including public lectures and observatory tours.
