Abstract
This application seeks support to continue the successful visitors programme that we have conducted at Durham since 1983. This application covers the entire spectrum of astronomical research at Durham which includes extragalactic astronomy, cosmology, astronomical instrumentation, gamma-ray astronomy and high energy astrophysics. The current grant has supported 97 visitors over a 2.5 year period and had led to 111 joint refereed publications involving Durham researchers and visitors. Examples of research projects involving visitors are: the Virgo Consortium's programme of simulations of the formation of structure in the universe; theoretical modelling of galaxy formation; observational studies of young massive galaxies undergoing huge starbursts; investigation of accretion processes onto black holes of a wide range of sizes, from a few to a billion solar masses; the effects of the growth of supermassive black holes on forming galaxies; observations of groups and clusters at early stages of formation; the detection and interpretation of very high energy gamma rays from exotic objects including microquasars; the design of new instruments for existing telescopes like the Very Large Telescopes and future ones like the projected Extremely Large Telescope.

Description | This grant has enabled a wide range of developments including: i) Developing a model that explains the formation and structure of the stellar haloes that surround the Milky Way and other nearby galaxies as the result of the tidal stripping of stars from accreted satellite galaxies. ii) Establishing that the accretion discs around the black hold of AGN are correlated with the orientation of their surrounding host galaxy. iii) Demonstrating that Cold Dark Matter model generates dark matter substructures whose properties are compatible with the kinematic data of the dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way. iv) Developed a fast method of computing the spectral energy distributions of model galaxies by employing machine learning techniques. v) Developed a technique to compute the imprint of intervening cosmic structure of the Cosmic Microwave Background. |
Exploitation Route | Enables: i) Making detailed predictions of the statistics of stellar haloes that can be tested by future ground and space based facilities. ii) Can be used to constrain the models of the growth of black holes and their accretion discs. iii) Can be used to rule out alternatives to the Cold Dark Matter model of structure formation. iv) Can be used to build large mock catalogues of galaxies with realistic spectral energy distributions which are needed to complement the analysis of future galaxy redshift surveys and investigate the environmental impact on galaxy formation. v) Can be used to allow theoretical models to be analysed in the same way as observational data in order to use the Cosmic Microwave Background to set additional constraints on models of cosmic structure formation. |

Description | Our many findings have been discussed in used by others in many subsequent scientific articles. In addition our work stellar haloes has motivated innovative wide angle ground and space borne telescopes to image the diffuse stellar haloes around nearby galaxies in order to test this key prediction of the Cold Dark Matter model. |

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. |

Country | United Kingdom |
Sector | Academic/University |
PI Contribution | AHRC funding: network grant |
Collaborator Contribution | Each team member, from whatever discipline, contributes to editions, translations, analyses and presentations. In so doing, we are pioneering new ways of working across and between our disciplines. Trusting one another, and learning to learn from the past have presented creative demands. We have challenged academic and public preconceptions regarding the value of past science as 'irrelevant'. Funding for the project has been provided by Durham University's Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK, and the Mahfouz Foundation for Interdisciplinary Research, Pembroke College, Oxford |
Impact | Bringing together a unique configuration of natural scientists, social scientists and arts and humanities scholars, the project integrates the conceptual tools of modern science with the textual methods of the humanities to explore the richness of Grosseteste's thought. Our translations, many for the first time, and which incorporate the groundbreaking concept of translation into mathematics, enable wider access to this wonderful mind, compelling us to make new assessments of his perceptive and inventive imagination. |

PI Contribution | Vince Eke: I collaborate with researchers at NASA Ames Research Centre, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Los Alamos National Lab and Washington University in St Louis on analysis of radar, gamma ray and neutron remote sensing data of other solar system bodies, and numerical simulations of giant impacts in the early solar system. These ongoing informal academic collaborations have been active for up to 8 years. They provide training opportunities for postgraduate students in Durham, as well as access to data that are not publicly available. |
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. |
