Faculty, postdocs and grad students of the WCA travelled to Halifax this month, to take part in the 2025 meeting of the Canadian Astronomical Society.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy is fired up to welcome its newest faculty member, Professor Lisa Dang, whose research focuses on uncovering the mysteries of lava planets.
The WCA welcomes new postdoc, Anwesh Majumder.
Using a global network of telescopes, Waterloo researchers are bringing black holes into view for the very first time.
WCA Director, Will Percival, has been named as one of the three winners of the 2025 Excellence in Science Research Awards.
Lisa Dang, an incoming Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo, has been awarded 100 hours of JWST observing time in Cycle 4 for her program, "Surveying Hellish Worlds: Lava Planets as Time Capsules of Thermal Evolution."
New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration use the largest 3D map of our universe ever made to track dark energy’s influence over the past 11 billion years. Researchers see hints that dark energy, widely thought to be a “cosmological constant,” might be evolving over time in unexpected ways.
On the same day, DESI has released the largest 3D map of the Universe to date to the public.
The first batch of survey data released by the Euclid mission gives us a glimpse into hundreds of thousands of galaxies reaching back 10.5 billion light years - and it's only the beginning.
Andrew Reeves summarizes the paper that jointly won the WCA 2024 Student Paper Prize.
