: Research
I am a second year PhD student in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney working on the dynamics of our own the Milky-Way Galaxy. Currently, by looking at few thousands of Blue Horizontal Branch stars I am trying to verify several claimed properties of the stellar halo. Most importantly, I am looking at the issue of whether the stellar halo that surrounds our galaxy is rotating or counter-rotating. Not limited to, my interest is also in the study of the bulge of the Galaxy which will show whether or not mergers were significant in building up the bulge, as predicted by CDM for which I will use HERMES (new spectrometer going to be installed in, the one of the world most productive telescope, the AAT- Australian Astronomical Telescope, formerly known as Anglo-Australian Telescope). HERMES is the AAT's new $10M wide-field, high resolution echelle spectrometer, and is under the installation phase. It is primary instrument for the disk program during my PhD.
Physiologically, I have
more
hemoglobin in blood than yours.
I am originally from small but beautiful land-locked
country, Nepal. Born at Janakpur, small town in central
Nepal, locally I am from "the
city with more temples than houses"- Kathmandu. I have
completed my
graduation from Tribhuvan University.
Playing cricket and watching movies are what I generally do when I am not busy turning pages or staring monitor.
Do visit in the regular interval. I want to make sure that I have various stuff on offer. Kindly, wait for the updates.
Hurray! though in the
smallest
possible form I have succeeded
to exist onADS.
I am primarily associated with Gravitational Astrophysics Research Group, SIfA, The University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia; Astronomical Society of Australia; and also actively associated with Astrophysics and Cosmology Research Group, CDP, Tribhuvan University, Nepal and life time member of Nepal Physical Society (NPS), Nepal.
For the sake of living I
do some
lab demonstration and casual
tutoring stuffs which I enjoy a lot. I enjoy to be part of
Sydney University Outreach Program
Kickstart.
