Abstract
We address two key areas of astrophysics: how do stars form from clouds of dust and gas and what chemical processes are at work in our solar system that may play a role in the emergence of life.
Magnetic fields pervade interstellar space and play a crucial role in controlling how material can accumulate into ever denser cores as gravity takes hold during the collapse to a star-planet system. Even though stellar birth sites are cold and dense there are still some charged particles such as electrons, molecular ions and, importantly, charged grains of dust. We will investigate with computer simulations how the presence of charged dust grains affects the formation of stars similar to our Sun.
The formation of stars much more massive than our Sun has proved to be much more problematic as they are rare and distant and produce prodigious amounts of radiation that blow material away rather than let it fall in. As the infalling material gets close in to the star we expect it to complete its journey in a thin disc orbiting the star. We will search for these discs using the techniques of infrared interferometry. With imaging spectrographs we will look for tiny spatial shifts from spectral lines from the disc relative to the starlight to gain spatial information at levels 10 to 100 times better than the Hubble Space Telescope.
At the same time that material is spiralling onto a star via a disc, some of it is being ejected at high speeds along the rotation axis by magnetic fields. We will use the highly sensitive new network of radio dishes in the UK, e-MERLIN, to map the emission from these jets and study how these plough into the surrounding infalling molecular material. The detailed mapping of the molecular emission will be carried out with the new ALMA telescope in Chile where 66 dishes work in unison at microwave frequencies. Combined radio and microwave studies will allow us to find out when the magnetic forces give way to the strong pressure of radiation.
As massive stars finally begin to clear away the material from which they were born, the combined effect of the winds driven by their strong radiation fields has a dramatic effect. As the winds slam into the molecular material, and each other, they emit strongly in the X-ray region as observed with NASA's Chandra satellite. The most massive stars have such short lives of a few million years, that they can blow up as supernovae whilst still surrounded by the remnants of the molecular clouds. Computer simulations will be used to tackle this problem to investigate how these processes can terminate the star formation episodes in giant molecular clouds.
In distant, primeval galaxies, massive star formation dominates much of what we see. Chemical models and observations will be used to help us understand how the first generations of stars evolve. Massive stars that are nearing the end of their lives also lose much of their mass due to the radiation pressure driving off their outer layers. These processes will be investigated observationally using the high resolution IR techniques described above. When two massive evolved stars are in a close binary system their winds also smash into each other giving rise to X-ray emission. Numerical simulations will be used to investigate these processes.
Titan, one of Saturn's moons, is of great interest as there are analogies to the early Earth. The Cassini Huygens mission found that there is more benzene than expected in the atmosphere and less ethane on the surface (lakes rather than deep oceans). We will carry out a range of laboratory studies to determine the atmospheric rates of formation and removal of these species and gauge the impact of our results through inclusion in chemical models.
Meteorites preserve a memory of the early solar system and their chemical make-up can help us understand the origins of life. Experiments on iron meteorites will investigate the role of electron transfer on pre-biotic molecules.

Planned Impact
The proposal concerns work that will have impact on various industries that directly benefit from the spin-offs of our research methodologies, expertise and in-house computer codes. For example, the research exploiting our state-of-the art multi-fluid models is extremely relevant in a surprisingly wide range of applications. These include the gas industry where our codes are used to simulate flows along pipelines and potential hazards associated with carbon sequestration, water management through simulations of river flow, and metallic paints. Other direct industrial beneficiaries are the mining and explosives companies that are being aided by the application of methods developed to model the explosion of stars as supernovae. Similarly, the combustion processes in supernovae have helped research into more efficient fuel combustion for the automotive industry. The ongoing development and improvement of computational methods and codes will ensure the continuation of existing, and the forging of new, fruitful industrial collaborations which will ultimately aid the UK's economic competitiveness.
The study of the extreme atmospheres on bodies such as Saturn's moon Titan will further help our understanding of the gases, aerosols and hazes in our own atmosphere. This will benefit the health of the population in general due to a better understanding of air pollution. Techniques devised to study planetary atmospheres are also being developed to better understand our own atmosphere and climate change in particular.
Our astronomical expertise has been applied to planning applications seeking to install infrared lighting near a dark sky park. This will ensure that both the population of that area are safe and that the public can still enjoy viewing the stars.
The subjects of stellar birth and planet formation, including their astrobiological relevance, appeal to the imagination. Leeds astrophysicists are strongly committed to communicating both their own and general astronomical results to a wide audience. They do this via public appearances and the organisation of events, and through the mass media by, for example, issuing press releases and making media appearances.
Our outreach is built around a set portfolio of events which continue to be developed and improved. We particularly focus certain events on school children and young people. An enhanced collaboration with the Leeds Amateur Astronomical Society is being established through the donation of telescopes and joint outreach events such as Stargazing Live.
A major new outreach venture is being planned at the site of the old British Telecommunication site at Goonhilly, Cornwall. The University of Leeds is leading a consortium of universities that is investing in, and work with, a private company that has taken ownership of the site. It is being redeveloped for commercial satellite telecommunications, deep space communications and radio astronomy. A key part of the plan is for a new visitor centre and space science park that aims to attract 100 000 visitors per year. This will showcase the best of British space science and astronomy to a new audience. Experience gained in reusing old infrastructure at Goonhilly for science will also be applied to Africa where many ex-telecommunications dishes are ear-marked for redevelopment. Leeds astronomers will play a key role in training new generations in developing countries.

| Description | A large Keplerian accretion disk has been found using ALMA around a massive forming star. This is the best evidence to date of massive stars forming in a similar way to low mass stars but with much larger disks. Our research has greatly increased the number of massive young stellar objects know to be powering jets. The fraction of these exhibiting non-thermal emission is found to be higher than previously thought, which points to an increased role for magnetic fields in the mass star formation phenomena. It has also been shown that the innermost regions of a proto-planetary disk can continue to accrete material even if a gap with a proto-planet in it exists outside of that region by very high resolution IR interferometer observations. The famous Rosette Nebula is a key object for understanding how massive stars affect nearby star formation, through a process known as "feedback", due to their intense UV radiation, powerful winds and supernova explosions. Our investigation of GAIA data of the central star cluster indicates that the nebula is 1.75 Myr old, yet previous models of the evacuated central cavity yield an upper age for it of 0.11 Myr. We have demonstrated that this age discrepancy disappears if the "feedback" occurs into a sheet-like molecular cloud, and are able to reproduce all major key properties including cavity size, stellar age, inclination to the line of sight, and Planck-based observations of the magnetic field. |

| Description | The hydrodynamic codes developed as part of this grant continue to be used in the industrial sector. Falle is a director of the scientific consultancy, Mantis Numerics Ltd, which is involved in a wide range of industrial projects. The techniques that have been developed for astrophysical applications, such as AMR and complex equations of state, have been applied to industrial problems, for example carbon capture and storage (through CO2QUEST, an EU FP7-funded project). Expertise from this and other projects (COOLTRANS 2010-2014, CO2PIPEHAZ 2010-2014) now mean that Falle, Wareing and Van Loo have been involved in a short cryogenic machining project (NIN320 Advanced Cooling in Machining Processes, PI Van Loo, Spring 2017) and Innovate UK and EPSRC grant applications in collaboration with the Nuclear Advanced Machining Research Centre in Sheffield are currently being prepared. |

| Impact | Together with the DiRAC facility we organised a computational MHD workshop at the University of Leeds from 11 to 15 December 2017. The purpose of this workshop was to provide PhD students and postdoctoral researchers within (but not limited to) the UK MHD consortium an introduction to computational methods for solving the MHD equations. As the UK MHD consortium covers a wide range of topics across incompressible and compressible MHD, the workshop did not focus on one single computational method, but involved several numerical techniques. The programme also allowed for plenty of interaction with lecturers and other participants. |

| Title | Dataset associated with 'Magnetohydrodynamic simulations of mechanical stellar feedback in a sheet-like molecular cloud' |
| Description | Paper abstract: We have used the AMR hydrodynamic code, MG, to perform 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations with self-gravity of stellar feedback in a sheet-like molecular cloud formed through the action of the thermal instability. We simulate the interaction of the mechanical energy input from a 15 solar mass star and a 40 solar mass star into a 100 parsec-diameter 17000 solar mass cloud with a corrugated sheet morphology that in projection appears filamentary. The stellar winds are introduced using appropriate Geneva stellar evolution models. In the 15 solar mass star case, the wind forms a narrow bipolar cavity with minimal effect on the parent cloud. In the 40 solar mass star case, the more powerful stellar wind creates a large cylindrical cavity through the centre of the cloud. After 12.5 million years and 4.97 million years respectively, the massive stars explode as supernovae (SNe). In the 15 solar mass star case, the SN material and energy is primarily deposited into the molecular cloud surroundings over 100,000 years before the SN remnant escapes the cloud. In the 40 solar mass star case, a significant fraction of the SN material and energy rapidly escapes the molecular cloud along the wind cavity in a few tens of kiloyears. Both SN events compress the molecular cloud material around them to higher densities (so may trigger further star formation), and strengthen the magnetic field, typically by factors of 2-3 but up to a factor of 10. Our simulations are relevant to observations of bubbles in flattened ring-like molecular clouds and bipolar HII regions.

| PI Contribution | I am constructing hydrodynamic models of young massive clusters to better understand the nature of the diffuse X-ray emission that resides inside some of them, and the impact of massive stars on their environment. |
| Collaborator Contribution | MYStIX (Massive Young Star-Forming Complex Study in Infrared and X-ray) is a project to synthesize multi-wavelength (mostly archival) photometric data on 20 young clusters within d<4 kpc to obtain new censuses of cluster stars and images of nebular emission. SFiNCs (Star Formation in Nearby Clouds) in an extension of the project to 22 smaller star forming regions within d<1kpc. The science goals are to improve our understanding of clustered star formation, early cluster dynamics, OB star feedback processes, triggered star formation, star formation histories, survivability of protoplanetary disks, and related topics. The central datasets are from Chandra ACIS, UKIRT/UKIDSS WFCAM & 2MASS, and Spitzer IRAC surveys. By combining infrared- and X-ray selected cluster members, both disk-bearing (Class I and II) and disk-free (Class III) young stars are identified, as well as OB stars. Samples of 31,784 MYStIX Probable Complex Members (MPCMs) and 8,492 SFiNCs Probable Members (SPCM) are obtained. By removal of X-ray sources, diffuse X-ray emission suffusing HII regions is revealed. Further details can be found on the MYStIX website. |

| Results and Impact | Invited by Dr Charles Jenkins, CSIRO Australia, Dr Wareing gave an invited talk to this informal networking meeting for researchers and industry in these two key areas of carbon capture and storage. The first part of the talk was entitled: High Pressure CO2 Pipelines: CFD simulation of the consequences of puncture and rupture on land. The second part of the talk was entitled: High Pressure CO2 Pipelines: application to underwater pipelines. The talk and consequent panel discussion was well received, with several questions and prospective avenues of research collaboration and industrial application. Unfortunately, the UK government pulled the plug on CCS funding in the UK shortly afterwards. Dr Wareing also presented a poster entitled: Accidental releases from high pressure CO2 pipelines on land: numerical predictions versus experimental data. Dr Wareing was also credited in presentations from UCL and National Grid, regarding the 2010-2014 COOLTRANS project. |
