The Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit

The Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit (CASU) is a research organization that processes and analyzes astronomical data collected from telescopes. It specializes in turning raw images of the sky into detailed, useful information about stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. CASU uses advanced computers and algorithms to identify and measure objects in the images, helping scientists understand the universe’s structure, composition, and evolution. Their work supports large sky surveys, providing valuable data for astronomers worldwide to explore questions about the cosmos.
