Title: PhD Student
E-mail: gartont@tcd.ie
Address: Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, School of Cosmic Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics Section, 31 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2, D02 XF86, Ireland
Biography: Tadhg’s research interests are focused on the space weather link between the Sun and the Earth. After finishing an undergraduate degree in Physics and Astrophysics, Tadhg began work on a coronal hole segmentation algorithm named ‘CHIMERA’, which identifies and extracts coronal hole boundaries and properties. This algorithm is run real-time on the solarmonitor.org/chimera website. Following this algorithm, Tadhg has focused his work on linking the properties of these solar coronal holes with the properties of the solar wind to build a predictive model for recurring space weather storms.

Tonight's talk on DIAS: 50 years as space research pioneers is underway. Some seats have freed up...
Great to see this initiative introduced by DIAS in 2007 inspiring future generations. #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/spacecasper/st…
This wonderful work is from the daughter of DIAS's own @TomRayDIAS. Can't wait to see it in person next week! 🤩 twitter.com/RIAdawson/stat…
Well done to Luuk! #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/helloalicepr/s…
A great turn out for our @HistFest talk last evening celebrating the lasting impacts of Hamilton and Schrödinger on Science today. Our final talk next Monday led by @TomRayDIAS will be on DIAS's work in space. Only a few seats remaining: eventbrite.ie/myevent?eid=67… #DIASdiscovers twitter.com/StpDias/status…
Like the @ArielTelescope (Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey) mission will study the atmospheres of exoplanets in the coming years. Professor @TomRayDIAS of DIAS is Co-PI on ARIEL, responsible for building optical components for the mission. #DIASdiscovers
They used European instruments to make their discoveries. Europe continues to make big strides in the area of exoplanet research not only from the ground with the telescopes of the European Southern Observatory, of which Ireland is a member, but also through its space missions.
DIAS congratulates Michel Mayor & @DidierQueloz on their award of a #NoblePrize Prize jointly with James Peebles. 👏 Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz were the first astronomers to discover a planet around a star outside of our Solar System. Both astronomers are from Switzerland.
