Funded Activity Summary

Building the future of theoretical astrophysics: Views of the virtual Universe. The virtual observatory (VO) is a major international initiative to maximise scientific returns from astrophysical databases by providing enhanced network access to data and analysis procedures, but it lacks a vital theoretical complement. This project presents a unified forward modelling approach to three key problems in: 1. gravitational lens reconstruction; 2. solar coronal magnetic fields; and 3. interpretation of stellar oscillations. The goal is the development of a `virtual telescope' for visualising synthetic datasets, designed to provide the necessary theoretical complement to the VO.
