Andrew Hamilton's Homepage

Orbiting a black hole at 2 Schwarzschild radii. Wanna fall in?   Lorentz-contracted cartwheel at 87% of the speed of light. Try this tour of Special Relativity. PSCz Power     What is wrong with this? Colour quiz. Fast Fourier or Hankel Transform of a periodic sequence of logarithmically spaced points. Growth factor in LCDM Universes   Angular masks of galaxy surveys. Professor, APS (Dept. of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences) Fellow, JILA (formerly the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics) Just good friends with the people at CASA (Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy) BA (Mathematics) a very long time ago at Catz, Oxford Ph.D (Astronomy) at Ole Virginie. My publications (since 1995, including preprints). My publications (since 1982). This unofficial APS photo gallery purports to show a rare image of me. From time to time I lecture at Fiske Planetarium. As far as I know, I am not a relation of Sir William Rowan Hamilton. John Cleese as Hamilton (now a missing link) did not sing the Galaxy Song. My wonderful wife Catherine owns and runs an environmentally friendly small business, BigGame Trophies. This is my wonderful eldest daughter Liberty. This is Liberty's homepage. My wonderful youngest daughter Wildrose is acting this summer 1999 in the ``Merry Wives of Windsor'' in the Colorado Shakespeare Festival.
