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!

Elismar Lösch - Simulating the galactic system in interaction Arp 245
Student (undergraduate)
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

My poster is going to be about the work I’ve been developing during my undergrad research in Astrophysics, where we are using numerical methods to simulate the galactic system in interaction Arp 245, in order to determine how the collision (…

Ellis Owen - Multi-wavelength signatures of cosmic ray interactions as a probe of the magnetic fields in molecular clouds
Postdoctoral Researcher
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Theoretical Physics

Energetic particles (cosmic rays) can interact with interstellar molecular clouds. Some types of these particles can undergo interactions which
decay to emit high energy electromagnetic radiation (gamma-rays), while other types can lose…

Student (postgraduate)
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics
  • Magnetospheric
  • Ionospheric and Solar Terrestrial
  • Planetary Atmospheres

When Voyager 2 flew by Uranus in 1986 we first detected and successfully mapped the the ultraviolet aurora across the planet’s surface. Since then we have only observed the planet’s aurora in the ultraviolet using the Hubble Space Telescope in…

En-Tzu Lin - On the jet structure of gamma-ray bursts through X-ray light curve modeling
Student (postgraduate)
  • Astronomy
  • Astrophysics

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are intense beams of electromagnetic radiation observed at gamma-ray frequencies. Observations show that GRBs fall in two categories, short-duration and long-duration. It is long believed that mergers of binary neutron…

Erika Schiappapietra - Improving Models of Spatial Correlation of Earthquake Ground Motion
Student (postgraduate)
  • Earth Science

Traditional seismic hazard and risk analyses usually employ ground motion prediction equations to estimate the ground shaking in a future earthquake at a given site. Earthquake ground motions are invariably evaluated in terms of one or more…
