- RSAA students have been awarded 6 of Australia's 10
Hubble Fellowships, making the RSAA the 2nd most
successful non-US institution (behind Cambridge which has 7) in
these prestigous postdoctoral fellowship competitions.
- RSAA scientists have led the 2dF Galaxy
Redshift Survey, the 6dF Galaxy Survey,
the High-Z SN Search,
the HST Key
Project for measuring the Hubble Constant, and Mount Stromlo
has been the home of the MACHO experiment.
- In 2006, the International
Shaw Prize in astronomy was awarded to an RSAA scientist for
the discovery that the universe is expanding at an accelerating
rate.
- RSAA has built Australia's first instruments for the Gemini
8m telescopes (NIFS program, NIFS begins observations in
Hawaii, GSAOI program) and is involved in
instrumentation for ESO's Very Large Telescopes. RSAA
has a PhD program in astronomical instrumentation. We run
telescopes at Siding Spring Observatory, which is the site for the
School's new 1.3m SkyMapper telescope,
to see first light in 2007.
- In April 2006, the ANU
joined the Giant Magellan Telescope
(GMT) consortium; the ANU's contribution to telescope design
and future instrumentation projects will take place at RSAA's
Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre (AITC) at Mount
Stromlo.
- RSAA hosts one of Australian Astronomy's two Fellows of the Royal
Society, and has 3 current members of staff who are members of
the Australian Academy of Science.
