Smita Mathur's research focuses on astrophysics topics including the hot gas surrounding galaxies (the circumgalactic medium), active galactic nuclei (AGN, the bright cores of galaxies powered by supermassive black holes), and the structure of galaxies such as nuclear star clusters. This work involves analyzing observational data from space telescopes to understand how galaxies form, evolve, and retain or lose their gas and metals over time.
