New Delhi: Ahmedabad University has announced the establishment of a new International Centre for Space and Cosmology which will promote cutting-edge research in the fields of space, astronomy, and cosmology.
International Centre for Space and Cosmology at Ahmedabad University will also teach the next generation of researchers and increase public awareness in the field of physics. It aims to reach out to young students in order to inspire them to pursue a career in space and cosmology study and to enlighten them about available possibilities.
The centre will also work collaboratively with Ahmedabad University's other research clusters. It is also preparing seminars and conferences, as well as hosting short and long-term guests, engaging with students from across the world interested in Astrophysics, Space, and Cosmology, and developing academic programmes.
The International Centre for Space and Cosmology which will be based at Ahmedabad University's School of Arts and Sciences will collaborate with colleagues nationally and internationally with similar interests.
Professor Pankaj Joshi, the director, is a scientist who has made significant contributions to Black Hole Physics and Cosmology. One of his main study interests is the prospect of huge stars collapsing into naked singularities rather than black holes due to gravitational collapse.
Professor Gaurav Goswami and Professor Raghavan Rangarajan, both founding faculty members of the centre, concentrate on cosmology and high energy physics, notably in the context of early Universe physics and connections with current observations of the Universe.
The opening of the new centre corresponds with recent observations of the extremely compact and dense object at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy by the Event Horizon Telescope. A picture of the ultracompact object at the centre of our galaxy has been produced using a global network of connected radio telescopes.
