Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Title Cosmic Origins II 
Description A stereoscopic movie made for the 2013 Summer Science Exhibition at the Royal Society. 
Type Of Art Film/Video/Animation 
Year Produced 2013 
Impact This movie was seen by over 5000 people at Summer Science 2013. We were invited by the British Council to participate in other events, representing research in the UK, as a result of the impact of the movie.

Description This grant support the participation of UK research in meetings of the Euclid Consortium; the mission aims to measure the properties of dark energy. This has allowed UK researchers to play a leading role in the preparations for the Euclid mission, through their contributions to the science working groups and organisational units.
First Year Of Impact 2014
Sector Education,Other
Impact Types Cultural,Societal

 
Title Millennium Archive 
Description The Millennium Archive is a relational database at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics at Garching, Germany that is mirrored in Durham. This allows remote users to access data from the Millennium N-body simulations and associated galaxy catalogues. Users can download and manipulate data. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2006 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact This database will shortly contain models produced under the Gemini studentship. The database will also be used to serve mock catalogues to the Euclid Consortium

Sector Public 
PI Contribution The Euclid Consortium is a collaboration of over 1000 scientists and engineers who are working on ESA's Euclid mission to measure the geometry of the Universe. This project involves essentially every astronomy group in Europe and also USA colleagues. The institutions listed above are the main ones with which we collaborate. My role is to oversee the production of mock galaxy catalogues for the Euclid Consortium, and to manage a work package on Validation, along with Matteo Viel, Trieste, in OU-LE3.
Collaborator Contribution Maintained leadership role in production of synthetic galaxy catalogues for Euclid
Impact We are provided mock catalogues for the Euclid Consortium. These were featured in the Euclid Red Book and are currently helping various science working groups to develop their analysis tools
Start Year 2009

Description GREAT Stockholm 
Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach International
Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact The British Council invited the ICC to present its "What is the Matter?" exhibit in Stockholm as part of the activities associated with the award of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics (shared by Peter Higgs). The exhibit was sited in the central train station in Sweden and was seen by around 1000 people. This was part of an event called "Research and Innovation is GREAT", which promotes the UK abroad.

Raised profile of STFC funded research on international stage.

Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Schools
Results and Impact The ICC has been awarded places at the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibitions in 2002, 2005, 2009, 2010 and 2013. We have developed new exhibits for each event, including a series of successful stereoscopic movies (Cosmic Cookery, Cosmic Origins I, Cosmic Origins II). Cosmic Origins I won an award. These movies have been shown at events and in museums all over the world. The Summer Science events have been attended by 5000-10000 people, made up of members of the general public, school pupils and policy makers.

After the 2013, we were invited by the British Council to represent Britain at international events (the Thai Festival of Science and Engineering, and GREAT in Stockholm, both in 2013)
