High-speed astrophysics with ULTRACAM and HiPERCAM
ULTRACAM and HiPERCAM are high-speed optical cameras that can take hundreds/thousands of CCD images per second simultaneously in three/five colours, respectively. Read more
Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes
When a star wanders too close to a supermassive black hole, it gets torn apart by extreme gravitational forces, leading to a powerful flash of light detectable billions of light years away. Read more
Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications
Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures. Read more
Mid-infrared spectroscopy of massive stars
Massive stars are rare, but nevertheless influence the evolution of galaxies through their mechanical, chemical and radiative feedback. Read more
Photoevaporation of discs around binary stars, by binary stars.
Most stars form in binary or multiple systems, and furthermore, they form in clusters with tens, to thousands of other stars. Read more
Unlocking Rocky Exoplanet Atmospheres via Next-Generation Stellar Characterisation
One of the most significant research directions in modern astronomy is the search for atmospheres on rocky planets orbiting other stars. Read more
Investigation of the potential of using magnetic reconnection as the method of acceleration within spacecraft propulsion
