Topics Of Research

Since astronomy is essentially the study of the whole universe, a wide variety of topics are suitable for this  research project. The only topic-suitability requirement is that the scientific research in question is on a subject related to any of the topics studied in our course. The other requirement is that the research is of an observational nature (i.e. where quantifiable observations/measurements were taken), rather than of theoretical nature (i.e. where only computer models and/or theoretical models were studied, without observational measurements taken). These are very broad topic categories, to allow you the greatest flexibility in finding a suitable research article.
