Welcome to MQ AAAstro!The Macquarie University Research Centre for Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Astrophotonics (MQAAAstro) is one of the largest and fastest growing astronomical centres of research excellence in Australia. We are in close proximity to both the Australian Astronomical Observatory (AAO) and CSIRO Astronomy & Space Science (CASS) and have strong links to science education through the 'Space to Grow' Project and the Indigenous community with the Aboriginal Astronomy Project. These strong links offer valuable synergies and opportunities for collaborations in observational astronomy, theoretical astrophysics, astrophotonics, instrumentation, education, and cultural astronomy. Learn about our research strengths and meet the people engaged in cutting-edge astronomical research at Macquarie.
