Experimental astrophysics includes normal galaxies, active galactic nuclei, radio galaxies, and quasars. Current research mainly involves spectrophotometry with the three-meter telescope at Lick Observatory, the Faint-Object Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Keck ten-meter telescope on Mauna Kea.
