The Department of Astrophysics and Cosmology works on modern topics of Astronomy, astrophysics, space science and cosmology.
In
Astrophysics the major thrust continues to be the physics of accretion
processes on black holes in galactic and extra-galactic systems. In
Cosmology, the work on gravitational lensing, dark matter and dark
energy are being pursued. Ongoing DST Project on Quantum Information Science.
Some
of the departmental members have been collaborating members of the
Indian Centre for Space Physics (ICSP) to complete several papers on RXTE/NASA
