UCSD Astrophysics Research
Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences (CASS)
Most astrophysics and space physics at UCSD is carried out within the Center for
Astrophysics and Space Sciences (CASS) an organized research unit consisting
of faculty from the Departments of Physics, Chemistry (Cosmochemistry), and
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE - Radio Astronomy and Space Plasma Physics).
