The UOAO Observing Team working on research topics in the field of Observational Astrophysics under the supervision and guidance of Dr. K. Gazeas. The team consists mainly of students of the Department of Physics who are interested in astronomical observation, optical instrumentation and research in Observational Astrophysics.

The Research at the University of Athens Observatory covers a wide range of astrophysical applications, mainly in the visual wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. The systematic observations with telescopes in Greece and abroad began in 2012. The valuable contribution of each member of the team has contributed to the creation of a united and productive team, a fact as seen from published research papers in international peer-reviewed journals.

In parallel with the research activity, the UOAO Observing Team organizes educational Workshops, which cover the basic astronomical techniques applied in Observational Astrophysics. Such techniques are photometry, spectroscopy, astrometry, etc.

To date, the published papers that have emerged from students who were or are still active members of the UOAO Observing Team are the following:
