Astroparticle Physics
PI Darrel Smith
CO-I Brennan Hughey
In the 1950's and 1960's, high-energy and cosmic-ray physics developed into two different fields of research. However, in the last twenty years they have come together in a most peculiar way. As space physicists explored the sources and mechanisms for producing cosmic rays, they also realized that it was impossible to measure the dynamics of the early universe (i.e., the first 400,000 years).

Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution
PI Theodore von Hippel
Bayesian Analysis of Stellar Evolution is an international collaboration studying stellar evolution with an emphasis on stellar ages. We also develop and support a Bayesian software suite that recovers star cluster and stellar parameters from photometry, currently called BASE-9.
