Spectroscopic studies of coronal mass ejections
The Sun's character is determined by its dynamic and evolving magnetic field, which harbours energy that is used to power some of the most violent and energetic events in the Solar System - coronal mass ejections. Read more
Fast Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Flares – Preparing for Solar-C
The Sun is our closest star, and with space now firmly established as part of our society’s environment, its unique proximity has inescapable consequences for us. Read more
Understanding Astrophysical Particle Acceleration using the Sun
Particle acceleration and transport are fundamental physical processes that occur over a plethora of astrophysical objects including planetary magnetospheres… Read more
Particle Acceleration and Plasma Dynamics in Solar Eruptions
Solar eruptions are the largest explosions in the solar system. They can release up to 100,000 times the yearly energy output of all humanity in just a few hours. Read more
Signatures and dynamics of substorms in the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system
The substorm is a key component of magnetospheric and ionospheric dynamics, with impacts that include a rapid enhancement in the nightside aurora, magnetic disturbances on the ground, enhancements in the ring current and radiation belts and heating of plasma further out in the magnetosphere.

Solar Orbiter: Solar Wind Plasma Energetics in the Inner Heliosphere
Solar Orbiter was launched on 11th of February 2020, carrying 10 scientific instruments to obtain high-quality measurements of the inner heliosphere. Read more
Unravelling the geological and organic history of the Moon and Mars
The planetary bodies of the solar system are geologically complex worlds on a global, regional and local scale. The Moon and Mars are dominated by primary silicate minerals and a range of mineralogical by-products together with frozen volatiles and organic molecules. Read more
Supermassive black holes in the early Universe
Supermassive black holes are the most fascinating objects in the Universe. There are still many unanswered questions about them. Read more
Revealing the Milky disk formation history with the Gaia data
European Space Agency’s Gaia mission (launched in Dec. 2013), which MSSL is heavily involved in, has made the third data release in June 2022, which provide the position and velocity measurements for more than one billion of stars in the Milky Way. Read more
Generative and statistical AI for simulation-based inference (SBI) for Euclid dark energy
The current evolution of our Universe is dominated by the influence of dark energy and dark matter, which constitute 95% of its content. However, an understanding of the fundamental physics underlying the dark Universe remains critically lacking. Forthcoming experiments have the potential to revolutionalise our understanding of the dark Universe. Read more
The effect of different environmental physical processes on planet formation
Planets form in disks around young stars, the so-called protoplanetary disks. Read more
The host galaxies of QSOs
The standard paradigm for galaxy formation now has massive black holes in active galactic nuclei playing a key role in shaping the evolution of all substantial galaxies. Read more
Event horizon-scale modelling of radiation from black holes
In 2019 the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration published the first image of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) from the galaxy M87. Read more
