Untangling the Delayed-Choice Entangled Quantum Eraser – Could the KIDs offer the solution? Speaker: Dr Colm Bracken, Maynooth University Abstract:  In this proposed update to the DCQE (delayed-choice quantum eraser) set-up, we propose to use photon-counting MKIDs as the… Read More

Dr. Erin Higgins Armagh Observatory & Planetarium, UK The evolution of massive stars as black hole progenitors Abstract:  The evolution of massive stars is poorly constrained, even on the main sequence. Dominant processes such as rotation and mass loss… Read More

Dr. Cheng-Han Hsieh Yale University, USA Rotating filament in Orion B – Do cores inherit their angular momentum from their parent filament? Abstract: Angular momentum is one of the most important physical quantities that govern star formation. The… Read More

Prof. Sandra Chapman University of Warwick, UK Quantifying space climate as the statistics of space weather: networks and burst distributions Abstract: Space weather and solar terrestrial physics observations are increasingly becoming a data analytics challenge and there are… Read More

Dr. Stephanie Yardley University College London, UK The Elusive Sources of Solar Energetic Particles Abstract: Solar energetic particles (SEPs) are accelerated by magnetic reconnection-driven processes during solar flares and by CME-driven shocks. Large gradual SEP events, associated with… Read More

Dr. Harish Vedantham ASTRON, Netherlands Radio flashes from plasma storms around exoplanets Abstract: Low frequency (< few hundred MHz) radio observations uniquely trace several processes that determine the habitability of exoplanets. Coronal plasma ejections that erode planetary atmospheres… Read More

Dr. Emma Whelan Maynooth University, Ireland Searching for an MHD Disk Wind Component via Optical Forbidden Emission Line Spectro-astrometry Abstract: A crucial step in understanding how stars accrete their mass, as well as how disks evolve, is clarifying… Read More

Dr. Hamish Reid University College London, UK Solar electron beams, turbulence, and plasma waves: the perfect ingredients for radio burst fine structure. Abstract: The Sun frequently accelerates near-relativistic electron beams that travel out through the solar corona and… Read More
