2018/06/22 - 2018/06/23 Before and After Halley explores, for the first time, how medieval records of comets can be used to test the theory that our solar system may include an additional, undiscovered planet: Planet Nine. Combining the skills of a medievalist and an astronomer, this exhibit challenges the assumption that early medieval scientific thought was simple and undeserving of serious scientific investigation. (2018/06/22 - 2018/06/23)
Festival (Co-organisor)
2018/05/02 - 2018/06/03 Marvelling at the Skies: Comets through the Eyes of the Anglo-Saxons. This exhibition combines records of comets from Anglo-Saxon sources with images from NASA, Armagh Observatory & AAANI. A cosmic journey from a description of a comet in England in the year 891 under the period of Alfred the Great, to the sighting of a hazy green-hued comet Lovejoy in 2013. This exhibition is part of the Royal Society APEX project ‘Before and After Halley: Medieval Visions of Modern Science’ funded by the UK leading academies and the Leverhulme Trust. (2018/05/02 - 2018/06/03)
Exhibition (Co-organisor)
 Ulster Museum, United Kingdom
2016/07/04 - 2016/07/10 The comet revealed: Rosetta and Philae at Comet 67P. Rosetta has revealed Comet 67P to be a bizarre chunk of dusty ice, with a fascinating landscape of towering cliffs and smooth plains, from which jets of gas and dust erupt into space. The comet is a natural laboratory for a wealth of chemical and physical processes, detected by the orbiter and lander. By combining this data with images and spectra observed from Earth, we’re glimpsing the Solar System’s early history. (2016/07/04 - 2016/07/10)

2013/07/02 - 2013/07/07 Ice Worlds - Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition. Exhibit about the moons of the outer planets and other large icy bodies in our solar system, many of which have atmospheres, volcanoes that erupt water, and underground oceans. We helped the public understand the gravity, orbits, compositions and atmospheres of these icy worlds, and how their surfaces are altered by being exposed to radiation. We highlighted future space missions that may determine whether it's possible for humans to inhabit some mysterious icy world one day. (2013/07/02 - 2013/07/07)

2012/10/17 - 2012/10/17 Michael West Lecture: "The Sun". Dr Lucie Green is a space scientist who studies the Sun. She was a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow and I now holds a Leverhulme Fellowship. Dr Green also works in TV (you may have seen her in The Sky At Night) and radio, writes science articles and give talks about the UK's current research in solar system science. She was the 2009 recipient of the Kohn Award for excellence in public engagement with science. (2012/10/17 - 2012/10/17)

 Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom
2012/05/02 - 2012/05/02 Michael West Lecture: "What if the speed of light isn't constant? What you gain and what you lose." João Magueijo has defied one of the tenets of modern physics, that the speed of light is constant. His research in cosmology lies at the very frontier of our understanding of how the Universe was born and evolves. Magueijo has held the prestigious St. John’s College (Cambridge) and Royal Society research fellowships, and was visiting researcher at the UC Berkeley and Princeton. He is Reader in Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London. (2012/05/02 - 2012/05/02)
Seminar (President of the Organising Committee)
 Queen's University Belfast, United Kingdom
2011/08/03 - 2011/08/03 Michael West Lecture: Killer Asteroids. Dr Robert Jedicke has had four professional careers: Canadian football player, particle physicist, software engineer and astronomer. At the University of Hawaii he leads the PanSTARRS team searching for asteroids and comets. In three years, PanSTARRS will discover more solar system objects than have been found in the past two centuries. A renowned asteroid hunter, Jedicke is leading the search for dangerous asteroids that may impact the Earth in the future. (2011/08/03 - 2011/08/03)

2011/07/22 - 2011/07/22 Michael West Lecture on "Supermassive Black Holes". Prof Reinhard Genzel, director of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics & Professor at the UC Berkeley was the recipient of the 2007 Albert Einstein Medal. Over the past two decades, compelling evidence has been obtained for the existence of black holes with masses millions of times that of our Sun. In 2008, Reinhard Genzel won the prestigious Shaw Prize for establishing the existence of such a supermassive black hole in the centre of our own Milky Way. (2011/07/22 - 2011/07/22)

2014/12/11 Formation of pebble-pile planetesimals: understanding the interior structure of comets. The thesis studies the collapse of a self- gravitating cloud of pebbles to form planetesimals. The self-gravitating cloud contracts when it loses energy in inelastic collisions between pebbles leading to a higher density. Because of the negative heat capacity of the system the relative speeds of the pebbles increase when the cloud loses energy. Higher density and collision speeds results in higher collision rates, faster energy dissipation and run-away collapse.

"Foi a primeira vez que vimos um cometa tão perto, que o seguimos durante uma boa parte da órbita, que vimos como muda quando se aproxima do Sol, que aterrámos um zingarelho na sua superfície", destaca o astrofísico Pedro Lacerda que estuda os dados da Rosetta, em conjunto com o seu aluno de doutoramento, Sebastian Lorek, que trabalha no Instituto Max Planck para Investigação do Sistema Solar, em Göttingen. Até há bem pouco tempo, diz o investigador, isto eram "coisas de sonho". Diário de Notícias
