    The jet feedback mechanism: from supernovae to clusters of galaxies
    I will describe the roles of jets in several quite different astrophysical systems. These include exploding core collapse supernovae, expelling common envelopes...

    The LHC: a century of physics from Rutherford's atomic nucleus to Higgs' boson
    Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus in 1912 in an experiment on a table top. The LHC will be producing its first major results by 2012, involving teams of...

    The Mg/Fe characterisation of MILES library for stellar population
    The current databases of empirical star spectra for modelling single-aged stellar populations (SSPs) generally do not chemically characterize their stars...

    The nature of gamma-ray binaries
    The improvement on the Imaging Air Cherenkov Technique led to the discovery of a new class of compact binaries: the gamma-ray binaries. This small class consist...

    The Neutron Star Circus: Accretion Flows and Thermonuclear Bursts
    Neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs) are unique laboratories of accretion physics, strong gravity and ultra-dense matter. I will give an overview...

    The PAMELA space mission for antimatter and dark matter searches in cosmic rays
    New results on the antiproton-to-proton and positron-to-all electron ratios over a wide energy range (1 – 100 GeV) have been obtained by the PAMELA mission...

    The transmission spectrum of the Earth from lunar eclipse observations: the pale red dot
    Of the 342 planets discovered so far orbiting other stars, 58 'transit' the stellar disk, meaning that they can be detected by a periodic decrease in the...
