The Astronomy and Astrophysics Section, which evolved from the former Cosmic Ray Section and the Astronomy Section at Dunsink Observatory, carries out research in a range of fields: active galactic nuclei, advanced evolution of massive stars, computational astrophysics, data mining, evolution of extragalactic systems, high-energy astrophysics, and star formation. Major areas of interest are:
The work of the Astronomy & Astrophysics Section is documented in detail in the annual reports:
In association with the family of the late Professor Cormac O’Ceallaigh, the School of Cosmic Physics sponsors the O’Ceallaigh Medal awarded by the Commission on Cosmic Rays (C4) of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics.

It was great to give a seminar today to @DIASAstronomy about my work on applying machine learning to spacecraft data 🛰️. Thanks @cm_jackman for the invitation! Retweeted by DIAS Astronomy & Astrophysics
Of course I'm biased, but nice work @sam_green93! 3D simulations with @pion_code and @ichec computing resources, going into Sam's PhD thesis which will be submitted this week :-) #DIASdiscovers @DIASAstronomy twitter.com/IAUS361/status… Retweeted by DIAS Astronomy & Astrophysics
A big thank you to everyone @DIAS_Dublin and @DIASAstronomy @DIASDunsink @itdiasie @sam_green93 and @MMoutzouri for all the help and support planning #IAUS361: website, finances, tech support, organisation. Hope we can host the in-person meeting next year! twitter.com/IAUS361/status… Retweeted by DIAS Astronomy & Astrophysics
Very exciting! Nearly 3.5 years after we first started planning for the Symposium, the talks for the virtual component of @IAUS361 are starting later today :-) New and groundbreaking results by promising young researchers from all over the world! Retweeted by DIAS Astronomy & Astrophysics
Researchers @DIASAstronomy have extensive activities across planetary magnetospheres, space weather, and solar physics, and we are open to candidates who are interested in applying for this scheme. Contact group leads directly to discuss! dias.ie/astro/

Thank you everyone at #vEGU21 ST1.1 session today for your attention and questions about my #vPICO presentation on our most recent paper arxiv.org/abs/2102.05552 #EGU21 #vEGU_ST #ECS #EarlyCareers @IrishResearch @ASTRON_NL @LOFARIreland @DIASAstronomy @DIAS_Dublin @TCD_physics Retweeted by DIAS Astronomy & Astrophysics
Meet some of our astrophysicists in the video below and learn about what they get up to as they reach for the stars! #TechWeek2021 youtu.be/UAIIsVZR3qw
Researchers @DiasAstronomy are developing optical and near-infrared Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, funding from @scienceirel , fabrication with @cranntcd. MKIDs are are a novel superconducting detector technology with unique capabilities for astronomy. #TechWeek2021
Prof Tom Ray @DIASAstronomy Star Formation Group is Co-Principal Investigator on the James Webb Space Telescope Mid-InfraRed Instrument. @NASAWebb is due for launch in 2021 and will be the largest telescope ever placed in space! #TechWeek2021
Technology has enabled HESS to continue observing throughout the pandemic, detecting tiny flashes of Cherenkov light from particles produced by gamma-rays hitting the upper atmosphere. @hesstelescopes virtual collaboration meeting is underway this week! twitter.com/hesstelescopes…
