Microgravity Space Experiments on Alloy Solidification

University College Dublin (UCD) has recently taken delivery of a device from the European Space Agency (ESA) in which the solidification of alloys can be observed in real-time using X-rays. Read more

The kinetic stability of the solar wind

The solar wind is a continuous plasma outflow from the Sun. Due to the solar wind’s low density and high temperature, collisions between plasma particles are very rare so that non-equilibrium conditions often develop. Read more

Reconstruction of the dayside magnetopause using machine learning methods

The Earth’s magnetopause is the boundary between the solar wind and the magnetosphere. During coronal mass ejections, the solar wind dynamic pressure often increases and the magnetopause comes closer to the Earth. Read more

Unveiling the Sun, next generation studies of the Sun’s magnetic activity

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

Multidisciplinary Studies of Comets

Comets’ icy nuclei carry invaluable information on the origins of the star systems that they belong to. By studying the gas and dust that they release, we can learn about the composition of these ancient objects, and the nature of solid grains embedded within them. Read more

Mars crustal magnetic fields: protection for exploration

The surface of Mars is a harsh environment for robotic and human exploration, with strong temperature differences (0 to 20 °C during the day and -100 to -120 °C at night), ultraviolet radiation which penetrates the thin atmosphere, and a significant radiation environment from galactic and solar energetic particle sources.

Simulations of polarized emission from black hole binaries

Electromagnetic and multi-messenger emission from magnetized neutron stars and black hole binaries carry a huge amount of information on the properties of the source. Read more

Multi-Messenger Astrophysical Modelling of Compact Object Systems

Since the first detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from the black hole (BH) binary GW150914 by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations, a new window has been opened onto the Universe. Read more
