Alastair Sanderson

I'm a research fellow in the Astrophysics & Space Research (ASR) Group at the University of Birmingham. My research interests include groups & clusters of galaxies, the intracluster medium, galaxy feedback and cosmology, as part of the extragalactic group.

I'm also responsible for organising the seminars for the ASR group.

R

I have written some web pages on using the R software package here (see also the link next to home & contact in the top left of every page).

For more information on using R in astronomy, click on the image (left). For some more examples of plots created with R, including the code that created them, see the R gallery page. There are also pages on getting started with R, as well as some tutorials.

New York Times article (2009-01-07) on R here and blog article "Are you ready for R?"

"R is really important to the point that it's hard to overvalue it"
- Google research scientist, quoted in the New York Times
