云南大学中国西南天文研究所于2017年9月成立，是根据《云南大学一流大学建设方案》和《云南大学天文学一流学科建设方案》设立的云南大学天文学学科特区的重要组成部分。
South-Western Institute For Astronomy Research at Yunnan University (SWIFAR-YNU) was founded in September 2017. It serves as a major part of the University’s special discipline zone for astronomy, set up according to the “Yunnan University Development Plan for World-Class University” and “Yunnan University Development Plan for World-Class Astronomy Discipline”.
通过延聘国际知名科学家和杰出青年学者，研究所致力于推动天文学基础研究。研究所现有全职研究人员6人，研究领域涉及星际介质、恒星及星团、银河系和近邻星系、星系和星系团、宇宙大尺度结构、宇宙学。研究所近场宇宙学研究团队是基于国家大科学装置郭守敬望远镜（LAMOST）大规模银河系光谱巡天及科学研究的主要组织者和实施者。宇宙学团队在基于弱引力透镜效应开展宇宙学研究方面有重要影响，与国内外同行建立了广泛的合作，包括国际Euclid巡天项目组、KiDS巡天项目组、CFHT Stripe 82巡天项目组、VOICE巡天项目组等。该团队同时也是我国首个微波背景观测项目AliCPT的重要成员。
By bringing in internationally renowned scientists as well as excellent young researchers, SWIFAR-YNU is dedicated to advance fundamental research for astronomy. The Institute currently has six full-time faculty members, specialized in studies of the interstellar medium, stars and stellar clusters, the Milky Way and nearby galaxies, galaxies and galaxy clusters, the large scale structure of the universe and cosmology. The SWIFAR-YNU near-field cosmology research group is the leading scientific organizer and undertaker of the huge LAMOST Galactic Spectroscopic Surveys, whereas its deep-field cosmology research group spearheads the cosmological applications of the weak-lensing effects, and is actively engaged in a number of international collaborative projects such as the Euclid, KiDS, CFHT Stripe-82 and VOICE surveys. The group is also a key member of the first national cosmic microwave background project AliCPT.
研究所注重天文学基础研究能力建设。目前正在建设或研制中的观测设备包括云南大学50公分测光望远镜阵列、1.6米多通道测光巡天望远镜。研究所是建设中的4米光学望远镜成像光谱仪研制项目的主要参与者。研究所与天文学系合作，共同建设云南大学高性能计算与天文数据中心。
SWIFAR-YNU is devoted to the national astronomy research capability development. Observing facilities currently under construction or development include the Yunnan University 50cm Photometric Telescope Array, the 1.6m Multi-Channel Photometric Survey Telescope (Mephisto). The Institute is a major partner of project to build an imager and spectrograph for a national 4m optical telescope under construction. In collaboration with the Astronomy Department of Yunnan University, the Institute plans to build a high-performance computation and astronomical data centre.
研究所围绕国际热点问题组织召开国际、国内学术研讨会，邀请接收各类访问学者，开展广泛的国际、国内学术交流和合作研究。通过组织多种日常学术活动（每周的午餐讨论会、学术报告会，每天的茶歇讨论等），营造充满活力和创新精神的学术文化氛围。
SWIFAR-YNU organizes national and international conferences and workshops to exchange results and ideas of astronomy research hot topics. The Institute welcomes national and international academic visitors for exchange and collaboration. It builds vibrant and creative academic and cultural environments by organizing a variety of routine academic activities (weekly lunch talks and seminars, daily tea-break discussions etc.)
研究所招收培养天体物理学硕士、博士研究生和博士后研究人员。与天文学系合作，共同培养天文学本科生。
SWIFAR-YNU recruits and trains graduates leading to master and PhD degrees in astrophysics, and mentors postdoctoral research fellows. In collaboration with the Astronomy Department, the Institute is also engaged in astronomy undergraduate teaching and training.
