A lab that explores the history of how galaxies formed, using light of many different wavelengths.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing the history of galaxy formation with your own eyes
The Akiyama Lab uses observations in light of many different wavelengths to clarify how the galaxies we see in the universe today came to be.
For its observations, the lab uses a variety of instruments, centered on the Subaru Telescope.
To capture distant galaxies that have not yet been seen, the lab is also building new observing instruments.
The lab is looking for students who want to uncover the history of galaxy formation in the universe by "seeing it with their own eyes."
