The proposed research programme in astronomy theory (AT) at Newcastle University includes six projects. Their unifying theme is the focus on hydrodynamic (HD) and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes, ranging in scale from planets to the large-scale cosmological structure. Newcastle is an internationally leading research centre in the area of astrophysical HD and, especially, MHD. The proposed research involves a wide range of physical processes and a wide range of models and tools, including effective field theory models in cosmology, and analytical MHD models and state-of-the-art numerical simulations for a range of astrophysical objects in a variety of geometries. All of the proposed work also includes extensive comparisons with the latest observations.The proposed programme will contribute to several research areas of strategic importance, including problems identified in STFC's Big Questions of the Science Roadmap:A:2 How did structure first form? (Project 1: Field theory approach to cosmological large-scale structure)A:3 What are the roles of dark matter and dark energy? (Project 1)A:5 How do galaxies evolve? (Project 2: Magnetic fields and cosmic rays in high-redshift and nearby spiral galaxies, Project 3: Interstellar and intergalactic random magnetic fields, and Project 4: Internal gravity waves in massive stars)A:6 How do stars form and how do they evolve? (Project 4 and Project 5: Dynamical modelling of glitches in pulsars)B.1 How common are planetary systems and is ours typical? (Project 6: Magnetism in hot Jupiters)C:7 High energy gamma and cosmic ray astronomy (Project 2)D:1 How do the laws of physics work when driven to the extremes? (Project 5)

纽卡斯尔大学提出的天文学理论（AT）研究计划包括六个项目。他们的统一主题是对流体力学（HD）和磁流体力学（MHD）过程的关注，范围从行星到大尺度的宇宙结构。纽卡斯尔是天体物理HD，特别是MHD领域的国际领先研究中心。拟议的研究涉及广泛的物理过程和广泛的模型和工具，包括宇宙学中的有效场论模型，分析MHD模型和各种几何形状的一系列天体物理对象的最先进的数值模拟。所有提议的工作还包括与最新观测结果的广泛比较。拟议的计划将有助于几个具有战略重要性的研究领域，包括STFC科学路线图的大问题：A:2中确定的问题：结构最初是如何形成的？（项目一：宇宙学大尺度结构的场论方法）A:3暗物质和暗能量的作用是什么？（项目一）A：星系是如何演化的？（项目2：高红移和附近螺旋星系中的磁场和宇宙射线，项目3：星际和星系间的随机磁场，项目4：大质量恒星中的内部引力波）(专题四及专题五：脉冲星微动的动力学建模行星系统有多普遍，我们的是典型的吗？（项目六：热木星的磁性）C:7高能伽马和宇宙射线天文学（项目二）D:1物理定律在极端情况下是如何起作用的？(5)项目
