EMO-GP: Emission Mechanisms of Giant Pulses Apr 1, 2024 - Mar 31, 2027
The goal of this project is to understand the emission mechanism of ‘giant pulses’ (GPs) from radio pulsars and its connection to the origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and radio magnetar outbursts; phenomena for which recent evidence hints at an un...

Diffuse H-Alpha Emission in Galaxy Simulations Jul 1, 2024 - Aug 23, 2024
H-alpha is an emission line that is produced by ionised hydrogen in the interstellar medium. In galaxies, it mostly comes from hot, ionised bubbles around young, massive stars, and as such it is often used to measure how quickly a galaxy is convertin...

Undergraduate Bursary: Star Formation Quenching Efficiency in Filaments of Galaxies Jul 1, 2018 - Sep 30, 2018
Galaxy evolution is typically studied in discrete environments – usually within galaxy clusters or groups where the galaxy-galaxy interaction rate is high, in voids where the galaxies are largely unaffected by others of their ilk, or within the conte...

A ram pressure stripping toy model for jellyfish galaxies Jul 1, 2021 - Aug 27, 2021
An 8 week Undergraduate Research Bursary to fund a summer project to study the causes of jellyfish galaxies. The student intends to provide a model that could give "clues" about the right initial conditions to solve a real-world physics problem.
