ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics

ARC全天天体物理学卓越中心(CAASTRO)将使澳大利亚成为新兴的广域天文学学科的世界领先者。CAASTRO将回答有关宇宙本质的基本问题，开发处理海量数据集的创新方法，并为学生和早期职业研究人员提供多样化的机会。通过将澳大利亚顶尖天文学家聚集在一起进行有重点的合作，CAASTRO将巩固澳大利亚作为天体物理研究国际领导者的声誉，将在广域射电和光学天文学方面建立独特的专业知识，并将使澳大利亚处于领导计划中的平方公里阵列科学计划的地位。

The ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics (CAASTRO) will establish Australia as a world-leader in the emerging discipline of wide-field astronomy. CAASTRO will answer fundamental questions about the nature of the Universe, develop innovative ways of processing enormous data-sets, and enable a diverse set of opportunities for students and early career researchers. By bringing Australia's top astronomers together into a focused collaboration, CAASTRO will cement Australia's reputation as an international leader in astrophysical research, will build unique expertise in wide-field radio and optical astronomy and will position Australia to lead the science programmes planned for the Square Kilometre Array.
