The SWY-type aluminosilicate zeolite, STA-30, has been synthesized via different routes to understand its defect chemistry and solid acidity. The synthetic parameters varied were the gel aging, the Al source, and the organic structure directing agent...

A revised age greater than 50 Myr for the young cluster IC 4665 (2023)
Journal Article
Jeffries, R. D., Jackson, R. J., & Binks, A. S. (2023). A revised age greater than 50 Myr for the young cluster IC 4665. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 526(1), 1260-1267. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2845

IC 4665 is one of only a dozen young open clusters with a “lithium depletion boundary” (LDB) age. Using an astrometrically and spectroscopically filtered sample of cluster members, we show that both the positions of its low mass stars in Gaia absolut...

First light and reionization epoch simulations (FLARES) IX: the physical mechanisms driving compact galaxy formation and evolution (2023)
Journal Article
Roper, W. J., Lovell, C. C., Vijayan, A. P., Irodotou, D., Kuusisto, J. K., Matharu, J., …Wilkins, S. M. (2023). First light and reionization epoch simulations (FLARES) IX: the physical mechanisms driving compact galaxy formation and evolution. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 526(4),

In the First Light And Reionization Epoch Simulations (FLARES) suite of hydrodynamical simulations, we find the high-redshift (z > 5) intrinsic size–luminosity relation is, surprisingly, negatively sloped. However, after including the effects of dust... Read More about First light and reionization epoch simulations (FLARES) IX: the physical mechanisms driving compact galaxy formation and evolution.

A new method for spatially resolving the turbulence driving mixture in the ISM with application to the Small Magellanic Cloud (2023)
Journal Article

A new method for spatially resolving the turbulence driving mixture in the ISM with application to the Small Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 526(1), https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2718

Turbulence plays a crucial role in shaping the structure of the interstellar medium. The ratio of the three-dimensional density contrast ($\sigma _{\rho /\rho _0}$) to the turbulent sonic Mach number ($\mathcal {M}$) of an isothermal, compressible ga...
