How Mount Stromlo Observatory shed its imperial beginnings

The Mount Stromlo Abell Cluster Supernova Search

We have initiated a three-year project to nd supernovae (SNe) in a well-de ned sample of high-density southern Abell clusters with redshifts z 0:08. These observations will provide a volume-limited sample of SNe Ia to more than a magnitude below their peak brightness, and will enable us to: (1) measure the luminosity function of SNe, (2) further explore the correlation of light curve shape with...

The Stromlo Missing Satellites Survey

According to cosmological theory, density fluctuations of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) form the first structures in the Universe. The gravitational potential wells of these dark matter halos suck in primordial gas and provide the seeds for the formation of stars via energy dissipation and cooling, a billion years after the Big Bang. The observational Universe today is filled with these galaxies, the ...
