Powers of the Universe: Empowering primary school students with the powers of ten notation
Anastasia Lonshakova, David G. Blair, David F. Treagust +1
Numbers, both very large and very small, are crucially important for understanding the modern world. This paper assesses trials of a mathematics and physics module called Powers of…
HEIDI: An Automated Process for the Identification and Extraction of Photometric Light Curves from Astronomical Images
M. Todd, H. U. Wallon Pizarro, P. Tanga +2
The production of photometric light curves from astronomical images is a very time-consuming task. Larger data sets improve the resolution of the light curve, however, the time req…
Predictions for the Detection of Earth and Mars Trojan Asteroids by the Gaia satellite
M. Todd, P. Tanga, D. M. Coward +1
The European Space Agency Gaia satellite, planned for launch in late 2013, will perform systematic astrometric observations of the whole sky over a five year period. During this mi…
The Potential for Detecting Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows from Population III Stars with the Next Generation of Infrared Telescopes
Damien Macpherson, D. M. Coward, M. G. Zadnik
We investigate the detectability of a proposed population of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) from the collapse of Population III (Pop III) stars. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and…
An optimal Mars Trojan asteroid search strategy
M. Todd, P. Tanga, D. M. Coward +1
Trojan asteroids are minor planets that share the orbit of a planet about the Sun and librate around the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points of stability. Although only three Mars Trojans h…
An optimal Earth Trojan asteroid search strategy
M. Todd, P. Tanga, D. M. Coward +1
Trojan asteroids are minor planets that share the orbit of a planet about the Sun and librate around the L4 or L5 Lagrangian points of stability. They are important solar-system fo…
