Welcome to the Astrophysics Group at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory

Our interests span a wide range of astrophysical phenomena, from binary stars and quasars to gamma-ray bursts and the cosmic X-ray background. To pursue our research, we use the world's leading ground-based and space observatories at wavelengths from the radio to X-rays.

image First-light image of the MSSL-built UVOT (Ultraviolet and optical telescope) on-board Swift. It is a "false-colour" image generated with the near-UV, blue and yellow filters, represented by blue, green and red respectively. This pinwheel galaxy, M101, emits more light from its central regions, where the emission is dominated by older, cooler stars.
