White light images and magnetograms of 16 active regions observed between June-November 2015 were obtained from the University College of the Cayman Islands Observatory and the Joint Science Operations Centre (JSOC) and used to determine the…

Hot massive stars are known to host unstable, radiation-driven outflowing winds, giving rise to dense clumps of material which severely affect the diagnostic techniques used to derive wind properties of massive stars.
Most of the current…

Young stars are newly formed stars that have not yet reached the main sequence phase of their evolution and due to their large convective layers are very active. Young stars are typically surrounded by a protoplanetary disk, which is a rotating…

KISS stands for Kapteyn Interferometer for Short-baseline Solar Observations. It is a two-element radio interferometer that was designed and built on a limited budget as part of my BSc. Thesis. The project consisted of three theses, the other two…

Atoms have existed in our Universe from shortly after the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago. The observation and study of atoms and molecules plays a critical role in understanding many physical processes within our Universe. By observing…

Buoyant plumes rising from the lower mantle have been envisaged as being warm mushroomed-shaped anomalies with a large spherical head, followed by a narrow tail. In continents, the impingement of the plumes’ head at the base of the lithosphere…

Theory predicts that we should find fast, ejected (runaway) stars of all masses around dense, young star-forming regions. Simulations show that the number and distribution of these ejected stars could be used to constrain the initial conditions…

Directly observing the innermost astronomical units of the disks that surround stars as they form is crucial to our understanding of star and planet formation. Unless large-scale planetary migration is invoked, these regions are understood to be…

I provide an overview of the "Park in the Dark" events series I have run since 2017 in green spaces within Exeter. These events have each been organised in collaboration with Exeter's Community Builders and other local Community…

The properties of very distant galaxies are largely unknown mostly due to detection limits of extragalactic surveys, hence they can be hard to classify. One proposed method is to classify these galaxies by their morphological features which can…
