Our group member Res. Assist. Oğuzhan Çakır got accepted by Macquarie University for the PhD program
Our group member Oğuzhan Çakır got accepted from Macquarie University for the PhD program. Mr. Çakır awarded with theInternational Research Training Program Scholarship (iRTP) which is the most prestigious scholarship for foreign students that is given by the Commonwealth Government of Australia.He will conduct studies on galaxy clusters that were surveyed within the framework of SAMI and Hector Surveys.His research project will be supervised under theResearch Centre for Astronomy, Astrophysics and Astrophotonics of the Macquarie University.We congratulate our dear Oğuzhan and wish all the best for his PhD studies.
Research Asist. Süleyman Fişek was assigned to Atatürk University to work in The “Eastern Anatolia Observatory” (DAG) Project for a year.
Our group member Süleyman Fişek, due to his doctoral studies on the DAG Telescope and the installation of the telescope, temporarily left to work at Atatürk University Astrophysics Application and Research Center (ATASAM). He will work on integration of adaptive optics system and infrared sky measurements for the DAG telescope. We wish best to Mr. Fişek, who will also take part in the first light studies of the DAG Telescope.

Collaborating with Dr. Tomotsugu Goto from NTHU
Our group has started to collaborate with Dr. Tomotsugu Goto and his group from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Thanks to our group leader Dr. Sinan Aliş’s initiative and the support of Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), Dr. Goto also visited our Astronomy Dept. and gave a talk named “Revealing cosmic star formation history and black hole accretion history with the AKARI space telescope and the Subaru telescope’s new Hyper-Suprime Camera”.
Our group and Dr. Goto’s group has started to work together on evolution of galaxies in galaxy cluster by using Subaru HSC-SSP survey obtained from Subaru Telescope which is located in Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Our new collaboration will continue with some new researches on extra-galactic astronomy and will give the groups to do some graduate students exchanges as well.
Our group member Müge Görücüoğlu finishes her master thesis
Our group member Müge Görücüoğlu finished her master thesis in July 2019. The title of her thesis is “Investigation the Number Density of Interacting Elliptical Galaxies“.
She has identified the merging elliptical galaxies and investigated the interactions of elliptical galaxy pairs by using CFHTLS – W1 field.
XXL Survey second series papers are published in a special issue of the Astronomy & Astrophysics
Results from the largest XMM-Newton observational program, The Ultimate XMM Extragalactic Survey, are published in another special issue of the Astronomy & Astrophysics. This is the second series of papers of the survey and includes the largest data release of the XXL. An open access issue of the A&A can be accessed here (Vol. 620).
XXL Survey Data Release II
XXL Survey, the largest observational program that has been carried out with the ESA’s XMM-Newton satellite, has released it’s second data release. Associated Press Release can be found in ESA’s website.
With the current release there are 20 associated papers published in a special issue of Astronomy & Astrophysics. Based on the analyses obtained cosmological parameters are in good agreement with the standart model of cosmology which implies an acceleration due to Einstein’s gravitational constant.
