Advanced Radio Astronomy in Europe (RadioNet)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

RadioNet is a consortium of 28 institutions in Europe, Republic of Korea and South Africa, integrating at European level world-class infrastructures for research in radio astronomy. These include radio telescopes, telescope arrays, data archives and the globally operating European Network for Very Long Baseline Interferometry (EVN). RadioNet is de facto widely regarded to represent the interests o ...

Disclosing the Inner Gaseous Discs of Early Evolved Protostars (DIGDEEP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

...roject will have major implications for our understanding of protoplanetary disc evolution, structure and dynamics, as well as the formation and migration of terrestrial planets and hot Jupiters. The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies is the ideal place to carry out this work. DIAS offers strong expertise and training in the physics of protoplanetary discs and their associated protostellar jets ...

Thermochemical imaging of the Earth’s mantle: Global inversion of seismic waveforms, satellite gravity data and surface elevation (WINTERC-3D)

Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

The thermochemical structure of the Earth’s lithosphere and underlying mantle controls fundamental dynamic processes including volcanism, seismic activity and surface topography variations. The growth of very large terrestrial and satellite geophysical data sets over the last few years, together with the advancement of petrological and geophysical modelling techniques, now present an opportunity f ...

Theoretical and phenomenological study of the physics of gamma-ray binaries (studyphysgraybin)

Start date: Jul 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Gamma-ray binaries are among the most luminous very high-energy sources of the Galaxy. They consist of a normal star and a compact object, and their radiation is strongly variable and often periodic. Gamma-ray binaries also generate radio emission of non-thermal and sometimes extended nature, and X-rays, predominantly of non-thermal nature. These objects are strongly connected with other classes o ...

Preparatory Phase for a Deep Sea Facility in the Mediterranean for Neutrino Astronomy and Associated Sciences (KM3NET-PP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

In the framework of the KM3NeT Preparatory Phase project the strategic, legal and financial issues are addressed related to the construction of an European deep-sea infrastructure housing a cubic kilometre size Cherenkov neutrino telescope and providing access for deep-sea research. Many technical issues are already addressed in the KM3NeT Design Study, started in 2006, that at the end of its work ...

Do Jets from Young Stars Rotate? (Stellar Jet Rotation)

Start date: Mar 23, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

The goal of this project is to provide conclusive observational evidence that jets from young stars rotate. This evidence will finally validate widely supported models that explain how bipolar jets can extract angular momentum during gravitationally collapse, thus allowing the disk to accrete onto the infant star. Our team recently published a series of results, based on high angular resolution da ...

A photometric and spectral survey of young stars in nearby star-forming regions: towards a revised evolutionary sequence based on quantitative accretion/ejection diagnostics (Protostars)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

This research project proposes to obtain the first unbiased survey on a large flux-limited sample of young stellar objects (YSOs) in 6 different molecular clouds. This study makes use of a huge dataset, namely various photometric maps from 0.6 μm up to 850 μm (including data from the Spitzer and the Herschel Space Telescope), and spectra (between 0.6 and 2.4 μm) of several YSOs in these clouds. Th ...

Particle acceleration at supernova remnant shocks and the origin of cosmic rays (COSMIC RAY ORIGIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2007, End date: Sep 30, 2009,

Cosmic rays are relativistic charged particles (mainly protons and a small fraction of heavier nuclei) hitting Earth from outer space. According to the most popular model for their origin, galactic cosmic rays are accelerated at the outer front of expanding supernova remnants, via the so- called diffusive shock acceleration mechanism. Even though the predictions of this model seem to broadly fit t ...
