Dr Poshak Gandhi's work made the cover of Nature Astronomy magazine

Staff and students from Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton often feature in the media for their research, achievements and expert opinion. Here’s a round-up of some of our most recent achievements:

Gravitational waves

The direct detection of gravitational waves from a collision of two neutron stars featured on the cover of the journal Nature. Professor Mark Sullivan and Postdoctoral Fellow Dr Cosimo Inserra were part of the ePESSTO collaboration which led the electromagnetic observation of this new neutron star event.

In Our Time

Professor Nick Evans featured on an expert panel exploring the work of Carl Friedrich Gauss on BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time.

Gauss is widely viewed as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, with achievements in his lifetime including the first electromagnetic telegraph and proving the fundamental theorem of algebra.

Black hole beams

Research carried out by astronomer Dr Poshak Gandhi made the cover of this month’s online version of Nature Astronomy magazine.

Dr Gandhi was afforded the rare honour thanks to his journal paper investigating relativistic jets – ultra-powerful beams of energy that blast out from the vicinity of black holes. The research measured how quickly these beams ‘switch on’ and start shining brightly once they are launched.

White dwarf stars

A discovery surrounding the ‘feeding habits’ of white dwarf stars has been published in the journal Nature, revealing for the first time that the stars slowly grow by gaining mass in magnetically controlled sudden bursts.

The research, led by former Southampton PhD student Dr Simone Scaringi and co-authored by Physics and Astronomy’s Professor Christian Knigge, examined several years’ worth of data on the binary star MV Lyrae from NASA’s space-based Kepler observatory.

Supermassive black holes

Research led by Dr Francesco Shankar has featured in the Hampshire Independent for finding that the supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies may on average be smaller than expected.

The results from an international team of scientists demonstrated that biased selections have overestimated black hole masses.

Starving white dwarf stars gain mass in magnetically controlled bursts, according to new scientific research including expertise from the University of Southampton.

The findings, published in the journal Nature, challenge the thinking that most white dwarfs are ‘non-magnetic’ and incapable of drawing into orbit material from companion stars.

Professor Christian Knigge, study co-author from the University of Southampton’s Astronomy group, says the discovery that starving white dwarf stars act as magnetic ‘binge eaters’ is confirmation that accretion – the gradual accumulation of additional matter - is a universal process.

Francesco Shankar is Professor of Astrophysics and CHEP teaching champion in the School of Physics and Astronomy.

After obtaining his PhD at SISSA and a postdoc at the Ohio State University, he moved to the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics as an Alexander von Hulmboldt Fellow, and then to the Observatoire de Paris as a Marie Curie Fellow. He then joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy in 2013.

Professor Shankar is PI of a H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (https://www.bid4best.org/), fellow of the Alan Turing Institute, fellow of the Higher Education Academy, fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and PI of a large-scale project in medical science aimed at optimising blood pressure measurements strategies. Professor Shankar also sits on diverse scientific Advisory Board Panels worldwide and is leading a massive outreach/public engagement project named Astera (Astera - A Cosmological Visualizer (soton.ac.uk)), an interactive, fully immersive 3D realization of the Universe. 

Research

Research interests

Professor Shankar's research revolves around the theoretical modelling of galaxies, their central supermassive black holes, and their host dark matter haloes. He pioneered in the phenomenological modelling of galaxies and black holes based on a combination of abundance matching and continuity equation techniques. He has now started a group in extra-galactic astronomy aimed at specifically constraining the evolutionary channels of early-type, bulged galaxies and supermassive black holes via advanced semi-empirical models. The latter are characterized by a “bottom-up” approach: The least possible assumptions and associated parameters are initially included in the models which are otherwise informed by a number of independent observations. Additional degrees of complexities can be gradually included wherever needed. Semi-empirical models in this respect are a very powerful complementary tool to cosmological hydrodynamic simulations and semi-analytic models. The team is part of Euclid, Athena, and LSST. The increasing quantity of future data in extra-galactic Astronomy will have to be paralleled by fast modelling. The extreme flexibility and accuracy make semi-empirical models ideal tools to create full test catalogues for fast predictions and comparisons to data. Professor Shankar's research interests also lie in other areas of physics. He acted as guest editor for a review on keV sterile neutrinos and joined as co-I massive grant proposals that focus on the detection of dark matter particles via quantum sensors.

Teaching

Professor Shankar is currently the module leader of Cosmology. In previous years he was teaching Introduction to Astronomy, Galaxies and Photons in Astrophysics.

Personal homepage

 

Malgosia graduated from the University of Poznan in Poland and then received DPhil from the University of Oxford, researching four-wave mixing processes in gaseous media. She was a research fellow at the Department of Engineering Sciences at the University of Oxford, Optoelectronics Research Centre at Southampton and the Department of Physics at the University of Exeter. In 2010 she was appointed to a personal chair at the University of Southampton. Her research on nonlinear materials and photorefractive crystals was recognised by the awards of a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin fellowship, followed by an EPSRC Advanced Fellowship. In 2020, Malgosia was nominated to became an SPIE Fellow.
