Abstract
The last twenty years have seen the emergence of a standard model for the geometry and material content of our Universe, as well as for the origin and evolution of all structure within it. According to this 'Lambda-CDM' model, we live in a universe with a flat geometry where at least two thirds of all mass-energy is now in the form of a dark energy field which is causing the universe to expand at an ever increasing rate. About a quarter is dark matter, most probably a new weakly interacting elementary particle yet to be detected directly on Earth. Only about 5 percent is ordinary, or baryonic, matter of which only about a tenth is in stars today and the rest resides mostly in intergalactic gas. Structure was seeded by quantum fluctuations imprinted in the mass density of the universe at the very earliest instants of the Big Bang. These produced weak sound waves in the near-uniform primordial plasma that left observable imprints on the heat left over from the Big Bang, emitted when the universe was only 400,000 years old. These tiny ripples, mapped by imaging the cosmic microwave background radiation, grew into the full richness of structure we see around us today. It is this transformation from a near-uniform primordial soup to a cosmic web of galaxies, clusters and larger structures that is the focus of this application. Gravity, mostly due to dark matter, amplifies the tiny primordial ripples, causing lumps of dark matter and gas to stop expanding with the universe and collapse to form today's cosmic structures. This process is complex, but it can be calculated using computer simulations. For a given a set of assumptions regarding the generation of inhomogeneities in the early universe, the identity of the dark matter, and the values of the cosmological parameters, simulations can now follow the formation history of cosmic structure, tracking the evolution of dark matter, gas and stars, in considerable detail. Supercomputer simulations are a large part of our research programme and much of this work takes place within the 'Virgo consortium', a UK-led international collaboration which is generally recognized as the world leader in the subject. Over the past 25 years, the Virgo consortium and precursor collaborations have played a central role in defining the modern approach to physical cosmology and establishing Lambda-CDM as the standard model. Our programme has six interrelated themes: (1) the dark matter universe, (2) the gaseous universe, (3) the cosmic dawn, (4) the universe of galaxies, (5) active galactic nuclei and black holes, and (6) the universe on Gigaparsec scales. Our programme thus targets the first and fifth of the nine key science questions in the STFC roadmap: 'What is the universe made of and how does it evolve?' 'How do galaxies, stars and planets form and evolve?' Our research has three broad goals. The first is to understand the formation of structures in the Universe, from galaxies and quasars to superclusters and, through this, establish the nature of the dark matter and the dark energy, and explore the Lambda-CDM cosmological model in as yet untested regimes. The second goal is to provide a bridge between theory and observations. Simulations are the best, often the only, means to formulate and test observable predictions from cosmological and astrophysical theory. Our third goal is to extract cosmological information about the real universe by analysing galaxy surveys in tandem with our simulations. We are fortunate to have been invited to join the international Pan-STARRS project, the first of a new generation of large photometric surveys which targets an astonishing breath of science topics, from potential 'killer' asteroids in the solar system, to the large-scale structure of the Universe. We are leading one of the 12 key projects in Pan-STARSS, the one on the large-scale structure.

FAST GENERATION OF ENSEMBLES OF COSMOLOGICAL N -BODY SIMULATIONS VIA MODE RESAMPLING

Description | We demonstrated, using high resolution simulations of galactic halos, that the "too-big-to-fail" problem (the apparent discrepancy between the mass and concentration of the largest galactic subhaloes and the kinematics of the brightest satellites) recently highlighted in the context of cold dark matter models is not present if haloes are made of warm rather than cold dark matter because these haloes are less concentrated on account of their typically later formation epochs. Using Fermi satellite data, searched for diffuse GeV emission from the Coma, Virgo and Fornax clusters which could be due to the annihilation of supersymmetric dark matter particles. No significant detection of extended emission from the three clusters was obtained and this sets upper limits on the cross-section for dark matter annihilation that are the most stringent to date. From an analysis of the synthetic aperture circularly polarised radar data from instruments on board both Chandrayaan-1 and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showed that the high same-sense circularly polarised returns from non-fresh polar craters are located preferentially on their walls, rather than in regions with particular thermal characteristics. This suggests that dihedral scattering from rough surfaces, and not volume scattering in a low-loss medium such as water ice, is responsible for this result. |
Exploitation Route | The findings on lunar surface water have implications on the origin of water in the solar system and the viability of future Mars missions. The measurements of emissions of the Fermi satellite eliminate many candidate particles of dark matter and inform searches for supersymmetrical particles at the Large Hadron Collider. Comparison of simulated and observed Milky Way satellites suggests that the dark matter particles might be much lighter than previously thought. |

No significant detection of extended emission from the three clusters was obtained and this sets upper limits on the cross-section for dark matter annihilation that are the most stringent to date. The maps of hydrogen near to the lunar poles were used by NASA to guide their choice of target crater for the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS). This mission aimed to determine the nature of hydrogen within permanently shaded craters at the lunar poles by impacting into a hydrogen-rich crater and sensing the material that was flung up into the sunlight. Our high-resolution hydrogen maps suggested that Cabeus would be a hydrogen-rich target, and this choice led to a successful discovery of a few weight % of water ice within the material at the impact site. The discovery of water ice in the permanently shaded lunar polar craters has implications for the mechanisms of delivery of water into the inner solar system with obvious consequences for the existence of life on Earth. Thus the experiment had a wide societal impact, and was unsurprisingly a topic of much public interest. |

PI Contribution | Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the dark Universe. The mission will investigate the distance-redshift relationship and the evolution of cosmic structures by measuring shapes and redshifts of galaxies and clusters of galaxies out to redshifts ~2, or equivalently to a look-back time of 10 billion years. In this way, Euclid will cover the entire period over which dark energy played a significant role in accelerating the expansion. |

Collaborator Contribution | I make contributions that range from ideas for areas to study, through technical expertise and data analysis, to paper writing and giving talks, as do the other members of the collaborations. |
Impact | All of these collaborations have produced conference proceedings and led to talks at international conferences. Almost all have led to papers in the major peer-reviewed planetary science journals. |
