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...

• Hubble Space Telescope and N-body studies of Globular Clusters
• Galactic structure: what is out there?
• 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?
• GAIA: the origins of the Galaxy
• OPTICON, the EC Optical Infrared Coordination Network for astronomy
• E-ELT, next generation very large telescopes: look at www.eso.org for news.
