| Description | PhD projects are approaching completion concerned with: simulating the evolution of the chemical elements in the Universe; understanding radio evidence of star formation in dwarf galaxies; measuring proper motions (positional changes) in the near-infrared to look for nearby extreme low-mass/failed stars; modelling the polarisation of starlight by dust disks around young stars |
| Exploitation Route | Through publications and further exploitation of the results by the worldwide astronomical community. (Too soon to comment further) |
| Sectors | Education,Culture, Heritage, Museums and Collections |
| Description | So far - through outreach by the students in training taking roles in the astronomy open evenings and group visits at Bayfordbury Observatory. |

| Geographic Reach | Local |
| Primary Audience | Public/other audiences |
| Results and Impact | Bayfordbury open evenings are held 6x a year and are usually attended by 300+ members of the public, of all ages. We entertain them with talks, a planetarium, the chance to look through our telescopes, and hands-on activities. We host a website, and have participated in BBC outreach events. We are known in the area through these events, and get asked from time to time by local radio for interviews touching on astronomy news. |
