  1. Galaxy formation and evolution

    The Galaxy Formation and Evolution Research Group looks at population studies of dwarf galaxies up to the most massive clusters of galaxies, supermassive black holes and detailed modelling of the internal structure of galaxies. Discover more about our expertise, who we work with and meet the researchers.

  2. Time domain astrophysics

    Within the time domain astrophysics research group, we are involved in major observational survey projects. We work on a variety of explosive transients, including galactic and extragalactic novae, type la supernovae, core collapse supernovae, and gamma rays bursts. The Liverpool Telescope is the workhorse of the group. Find out more about our research.

  3. Star formation and evolution and stellar populations

    By studying the gas and stars that shape the Milky Way as well as other galaxies in the local Universe, we can understand the life cycles of stars like our Sun, unravel the chemical enrichment history of the universe, and probe the existence of black holes across a wide mass spectrum.

  4. Research collaboration and partnership

    Everything you need to know about the work we do with universities and organisations across the globe. We have unique collaborative opportunities for anyone who wishes to develop a research project through our Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP).

  5. Get involved

    The Psychology Research Participant Panel is a group of people who participate in psychology studies at LJMU. Find out more about the panel and get in touch with us if you would like to take part.
