    Staff in the Astrophysics Research Centre (ARC) carry out research in a number of stellar, Galactic and solar system areas. We are an observational astronomy group employing both large ground-based telescopes and space observatories including the European Southern Observatory, Gemini and the Hubble Space Telescope. There is also a programme on the study of laboratory plasmas and their astrophysical counterparts. Our research is currently supported by several substantial PPARC and EPSRC grants.
