Research Interests
Gerry Gilmore's research is largely related
to Stellar
populations
which are a great way to find what matter really is, and where it is...
- GAIA: the origins of the Galaxy
- Galactic structure: what is out there?
- Galactic and galactic chemical evolution: the histories of Stardust
- Dark Mass distribution in galaxies: searching for the nature of matter
- Stellar luminosity function: how much mass is understood?
- OPTICON, the EC Optical Infrared Coordination Network for astronomy
- E-ELT, next generation very large telescopes: look at www.eso.org for news.
