Publications

The Astrophysics Group, to do with the CANGAROO project, in the Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics at the University of Adelaide, publish papers of various forms regularly. These publications are grouped into four areas: Astrophysics; Astrophysics with the CANGAROO group; Conference publications; and Audio-visual. There is also a small group of publications that are able to be downloaded.
