The Brilliant Club is an award-winning charity that exists to widen access to highly-selective universities for under-represented pupils. We do this by mobilising researchers to bring their academic expertise into state schools through two core programmes: The Scholars Programme and Researchers in Schools. The Scholars Programme trains PhD and postdoctoral researchers to deliver university-style courses with rigorous academic challenges to small groups of pupils. These courses begin and end with 3 8 information, advice and guidance trips to highly- selective universities. Researchers in Schools is a What is The Brilliant Club?

Typically taking the shape of a bag, pouch, liner, or overwrap, flexible packaging is defined as any package or any part of a package whose shape can be readily changed. Flexible packages are used for consumer and institutional products and in industrial applications, to protect, market, and distribute a vast array of products. Leading the way in packaging innovation, flexible packaging adds value and marketability to food and non-food products alike. From ensuring food safety and extending shelf life, to providing even heating, barrier protection, ease of use, resealability and superb printability, the industry continues to advance at an unprecedented rate. The life cycle attributes of flexible packaging demonstrate many sustainable advantages. Flexible packaging starts with less waste in the first place, greatly reducing landfill discards. Innovation and technology have enabled flexible packaging manufacturers to use fewer natural resources in the creation of their packaging, and improvements in production processes have reduced water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and volatile organic compounds.

  • The Very Young Resolved Stellar Populations Around Stripped-Envelope Supernovae
    MNRAS 000,1– ?? (2016) Preprint 22 December 2017 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 The very young resolved stellar populations around stripped-envelope supernovae Justyn R. Maund?y Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sheffield, Hicks Building, Hounsfield Road, Sheffield S3 7RH, U.K. Accepted XXX. Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT The massive star origins for Type IIP supernovae (SNe) have been established through direct detection of their red supergiants progenitors in pre-explosion observations; however, there has been limited success in the detection of the progenitors of H-deficient SNe. The final fate of more massive stars, capable of undergoing a Wolf-Rayet phase, and the origins of Type Ibc SNe remains debated, including the relative importance of single massive star progeni- tors or lower mass stars stripped in binaries. We present an analysis of the ages and spatial distributions of massive stars around the sites of 23 stripped-envelope SNe, as observed with the Hubble Space Telescope, to probe the possible origins of the progenitors of these events. Using a Bayesian stellar populations analysis scheme, we find characteristic ages for the pop- ulations observed within 150 pc of the target Type IIb, Ib and Ic SNe to be log¹tº = 7:20, 7:05 and 6:57, respectively. The Type Ic SNe in the sample are nearly all observed within 100 pc of young, dense stellar populations. The environment around SN 2002ap is an important ex- ception both in terms of age and spatial properties. These findings may support the hypothesis that stars with Minit > 30M produce a relatively large proportion of Type Ibc SNe, and that these SN subtypes arise from progressively more massive progenitors.

  • Gone Without a Bang: an Archival HST Survey for Disappearing Massive Stars
    MNRAS 453, 2885–2900 (2015) doi:10.1093/mnras/stv1809 Gone without a bang: an archival HST survey for disappearing massive stars Thomas M.

Received 2015 July 16; in original form 2015 May 27 ABSTRACT It has been argued that a substantial fraction of massive stars may end their lives without http://mnras.oxfordjournals.org/ an optically bright supernova (SN), but rather collapse to form a black hole. Such an event would not be detected by current SN surveys, which are focused on finding bright transients. Kochanek et al. proposed a novel survey for such events, using repeated observations of nearby galaxies to search for the disappearance of a massive star. We present such a survey, using the first systematic analysis of archival Hubble Space Telescope images of nearby galaxies with the aim of identifying evolved massive stars which have disappeared, without an accompanying optically bright SN. We consider a sample of 15 galaxies, with at least three epochs of Hubble Space Telescope imaging taken between 1994 and 2013. Within this data, we find one candidate at CERN - European Organization for Nuclear Research on September 15, 2016 which is consistent with a 25–30 M yellow supergiant which has undergone an optically dark core-collapse. Key words: stars: evolution – stars: massive – supernovae: general. plosion, and Type IIL (Linear) SNe which have a steady decline 1 INTRODUCTION in luminosity from peak.

Messier 16 is a conspicuous region of active star formation, appearing in the constellation Serpens Cauda. This giant cloud of interstellar gas and dust is commonly known as the Eagle Nebula, and has already created a cluster of young stars. The nebula is also referred to the Star Queen Nebula and as IC 4703; the cluster is NGC 6611. With an overall visual magnitude of 6.4, and an apparent diameter of 7', the Eagle Nebula's star cluster is best seen with low power telescopes. The brightest star in the cluster has an apparent magnitude of +8.24, easily visible with good binoculars. A 4" scope reveals about 20 stars in an uneven background of fainter stars and nebulosity; three nebulous concentrations can be glimpsed under good conditions. Under very good conditions, suggestions of dark obscuring matter can be seen to the north of the cluster. In an 8" telescope at low power, M 16 is an impressive object. The nebula extends much farther out, to a diameter of over 30'. It is filled with dark regions and globules, including a peculiar dark column and a luminous rim around the cluster.

  • Plain Packaging of Cigarettes and Smoking Behavior
    Maynard et al. Trials 2014, 15:252 http://www.trialsjournal.com/content/15/1/252 TRIALS STUDY PROTOCOL Open Access Plain packaging of cigarettes and smoking behavior: study protocol for a randomized controlled study Olivia M Maynard1,2,3*, Ute Leonards3, Angela S Attwood1,2,3, Linda Bauld2,4, Lee Hogarth5 and Marcus R Munafò1,2,3 Abstract Background: Previous research on the effects of plain packaging has largely relied on self-report measures. Here we describe the protocol of a randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of the plain packaging of cigarettes on smoking behavior in a real-world setting. Methods/Design: In a parallel group randomization design, 128 daily cigarette smokers (50% male, 50% female) will attend an initial screening session and be assigned plain or branded packs of cigarettes to smoke for a full day. Plain packs will be those currently used in Australia where plain packaging has been introduced, while branded packs will be those currently used in the United Kingdom. Our primary study outcomes will be smoking behavior (self-reported number of cigarettes smoked and volume of smoke inhaled per cigarette as measured using a smoking topography device). Secondary outcomes measured pre- and post-intervention will be smoking urges, motivation to quit smoking, and perceived taste of the cigarettes. Secondary outcomes measured post-intervention only will be experience of smoking from the cigarette pack, overall experience of smoking, attributes of the cigarette pack, perceptions of the on-packet health warnings, behavior changes, views on plain packaging, and the rewarding value of smoking. Sex differences will be explored for all analyses.

  • Fundamental Properties of Core-Collapse Supernova and GRB Progenitors: Predicting the Look of Massive Stars Before Death
    A&A 558, A131 (2013) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201321906 & c ESO 2013 Astrophysics Fundamental properties of core-collapse supernova and GRB progenitors: predicting the look of massive stars before death Jose H. Groh1, Georges Meynet1, Cyril Georgy2, and Sylvia Ekström1 1 Geneva Observatory, Geneva University, Chemin des Maillettes 51, 1290 Sauverny, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] 2 Astrophysics group, EPSAM, Keele University, Lennard-Jones Labs, ST5 5BG Keele, UK Received 16 May 2013 / Accepted 20 August 2013 ABSTRACT We investigate the fundamental properties of core-collapse supernova (SN) progenitors from single stars at solar metallicity. For this purpose, we combine Geneva stellar evolutionary models with initial masses of Mini = 20−120 M with atmospheric and wind models using the radiative transfer code CMFGEN. We provide synthetic photometry and high-resolution spectra of hot stars at the pre-SN stage. For models with Mini = 9−20 M, we supplement our analysis using publicly available MARCS model atmospheres of RSGs to estimate their synthetic photometry. We employ well-established observational criteria of spectroscopic classification and find that, depending on their initial mass and rotation, massive stars end their lives as red supergiants (RSG), yellow hypergiants (YHG), luminous blue variables (LBV), and Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars of the WN and WO spectral types. For rotating models, we obtained the + following types of SN progenitors: WO1–3 (Mini ≥ 32 M), WN10–11 (25 < Mini < 32 M), LBV (20 ≤ Mini ≤ 25 M), G1 Ia (18 < Mini < 20 M), and RSGs (9 ≤ Mini ≤ 18 M). For non-rotating models, we found spectral types WO1–3 (Mini > 40 M), WN7–8 (25 < Mini ≤ 40 M), WN11h/LBV (20 < Mini ≤ 25 M), and RSGs (9 ≤ Mini ≤ 20 M).

Let’s hope it continues and we have clear skies and good viewing for the next five or six months. Our February meeting was well attended, with our main speaker being Dr Matt Hilton from the Astrophysics and Cosmology Research Unit at UKZN who gave us an excellent presentation on gravity waves. We really have to be thankful to Dr Hilton from ACRU UKZN for giving us his time to give us presentations and hope that we can maintain our relationship with ACRU and that we can draw other speakers from his colleagues and other research students! Thanks must also go to Debbie Abel and Piet Strauss for their monthly presentations on NASA and the sky for the following month, respectively.
