RAS Early Career Poster Exhibition 2020

With NAM cancelled this year, the RAS are hosting an online poster exhibition for early career researchers, professionals, and students from across astronomy and geophysics.

Here you’ll find over 200 posters spanning a wide range of topics from black holes to active galactic nuclei, to Mars missions and outreach and education.

Posters are searchable by their authors, and research field tags.

Please take your time to look at the submissions, and get in touch with the authors!

We encourage you to tweet about the exhibition using the hashtag #RASposter2020. Please note that any communications relating to the exhibition must adhere to RAS Code of Conduct, available here.

A senior team of astronomers and geophysicists are judging the submissions based on the quality of the content, communication and design. Winners of the competition will be announced back here in November 2020.

Thanks for visiting and please do show your support for the early career researchers by sharing their submissions, and asking questions!

Ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves (1mHz-1Hz) are abundant in Earth's magnetosphere, transporting energy and momentum throughout the system. Representing small amplitude oscillations of the background magnetic field, they play an important role…

Type Ia (read as “one-a”) Supernovae (SNe Ia) are very energetic explosions with White Dwarf stars as their progenitors. These events display a light curve which luminosity increases rapidly in time, reaching its maximum (with a brightness…

Once the first stars and galaxies form, the universe enters the Epoch of Reionization. These luminous sources heat and ionize the intergalactic medium and hence affect the formation of structures, such as the cosmic web, as we know them today.…

I present my recent efforts on establishing methodology for removing lensing noise (delensing) to detect primordial gravitational waves (GWs) from cosmic microwave background (CMB). One of the promising cosmological probes in the next decades is…

Globular clusters have long been considered to be simple stellar populations. Recent research shows that they are multiple stellar populations, which differ in their abundance of light elements. One aspect of their enigmatic origins is to find…

This work consists in a novel technique to fit the chemical parameter space of ionised gas. This methodology is based in a Bayesian which can fit both the recombination and collisionally excited lines. The current chemical model consists in…

Cratons host the oldest rocks on the Earth, they described as regions with no deformation for a long period of time, cold and thick lithosphere (up to 200 km), depleted lithospheric mantle with a dry cratonic root. Recent studies from…

Asteroseismology is a powerful tool with which we can characterize stars. In the last decade space telescope missions such as Kepler, TESS, and CoRoT have allowed for huge advances in our understanding of the interior workings of stars. A special…

The Remote3 project aims to deliver much-needed STEM outreach to some of the most remote areas of Scotland. The project aims primarily to inspire innovation, creativity design, digital skills, team-work & team-building and oral & written…

MaNGA, an integral field unit survey, has produced datacubes for more than 100 galaxies which contain post-starburst (PSB) regions, i.e., regions in which star formation has recently been sharply truncated. Spectral index and emission line maps…
