Summary
Measuring the glow from our Cosmic Dawn. The Cosmic Dawn is one of the last unexplored periods of the history of the Universe. The faint glow of intergalactic hydrogen during the birth of the first galaxies can shed light on the formation of structure in the Universe. Many are seeking the first detection, notably teams in Australia, the USA, and the Netherlands. This project proposes to synthesise the knowledge across these communities for the first time, resulting in a new, cross-validated anal ....Measuring the glow from our Cosmic Dawn. The Cosmic Dawn is one of the last unexplored periods of the history of the Universe. The faint glow of intergalactic hydrogen during the birth of the first galaxies can shed light on the formation of structure in the Universe. Many are seeking the first detection, notably teams in Australia, the USA, and the Netherlands. This project proposes to synthesise the knowledge across these communities for the first time, resulting in a new, cross-validated analysis utilising worldwide expertise, for the benefit of Australia's Murchison Widefield Array. This collaborative approach will discover the best methods for precision analysis of the early Universe, and definitively embed Australia as the global leader in the search for our Cosmic Dawn.Read moreRead less
ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery. ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery. The mission of our Centre is to use gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. This will generate critical discoveries that cement Australia's leadership role in the gravitational wave mega-science instruments of the 2030s and 2040s.

The mission of our Centre is to use gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. This will generate critical discoveries that cement Australia's leadership role in the gravitational wave mega-science instruments of the 2030s and 2040s. By bringing together a world-class team with broad and complementary expertise we will develop core technologies for future detectors, discover new sources of gravitational waves, probe fundamental physics, and lay the foundations for an Australian gravitational wave observatory. Our discoveries will inspire Australia's youth to pursue high tech careers and position our staff and students to become leaders in both industry and academia.Read moreRead less
