COSMIC DAWN LAB


Cosmic Dawn Lab is a research group spread across the Institute of Astronomy, Kavli Institute for Cosmology and Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge focused on exploring the first few billion years of the Universe.

The research spans from the cosmic Dark Ages to present day including topics such as: 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen, intensity mapping of other molecular and atomic lines, structure formation, nature of dark matter, transient phenomena such as Fast Radio Bursts, and low frequency radio observations and astrophysical constraints.
