Theoretical Astrophysics Program

Overview

In 1985, The University of Arizona consolidated its traditional and long-standing strength in astronomy and planetary sciences through an interdisciplinary program in theoretical astrophysics that involves the Physics, Astronomy, and Planetary Sciences Departments. The Theory program administers a Monday colloquium series, a theory lunch, graduate student research and recruitment prizes, and a newsletter. In addition, it has a modest travel and capital equipment budget to facilitate the science of its junior members. See the program description for more detail.

News

The American Astronomical Society has just announced that Xiao-hui Fan would receive the 2003 Pierce Prize and Frank Low the 2003 Weber Prize.

TAP members can also submit proposals for the Theoretical Astrophysics Grants Program, and graduate students can submit papers for the Graduate Student Research Prize in Theoretical Astrophysics.
