Cycling in Ribble Valley
#Cycle routes
The Ribble Valley has miles of scenic country roads of which many are ideal for riding your bicycle. To the right are some downloadable maps and leaflets detailing these routes.​​​​
You can download several other routes across not only the Ribble Valley but Lancashire as a whole by visiting Lancashire County Council's dedicated

AEgIS Experiment at CERN: Design and Commissioning of SARA (Scintillator Assemblies to Reveal Annihilations)
SARA is the system of plastic scintillators coupled with silicon photomultipliers that will take part in the AEgIS experiment at CERN, measuring the time-of-flight of antihydrogen as it falls through a moiré deflectometer. Its development focused on simplicity, versatility and economy of the design and was supported by both physical tests and finite elements numerical simulations. The instrument's structure pairs the utilization of the scintillators as structural components with custom made 3D…

Entropy proxy inversions as tracers of the evolution of physical conditions at the base of the solar convective envelope
The Sun is an important calibrator for the theory of stellar structure and evolution. However, the accuracy of our solar evolution models is tightly linked to the physical ingredients that enter their computations. This include, amongst other, the equation of state, the opacities, the transport of chemicals and the modelling of turbulent convection. Deriving model-independent probes of these ingredients is therefore crucial to further test the quality of these ingredients and potentially reveal…

Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare GRB 231115A: Insights from Fermi/GBM Observations
We present the detection and analysis of GRB 231115A, a candidate extragalactic magnetar giant flare (MGF) observed by Fermi/GBM and localized by INTEGRAL to the starburst galaxy M82. This burst exhibits distinctive temporal and spectral characteristics that align with known MGFs, including a short duration and a high peak energy. Gamma-ray analyses reveal significant insights into this burst, supporting conclusions already established in the literature: our time-resolved spectral studies provi…

The Internal Kinematics, Stellar Population, and Gas-phase Properties of The Pseudobulge in An Ultra-diffuse Galaxy: AGC721966
Leveraging spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the central stellar velocity dispersion, stellar population properties, star formation history, and gas-phase chemical abundances in AGC721966, a unique ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) harboring a pseudobulge. Our findings reveal that the pseudobulge formed in the early universe but underwent a recent episode of rejuvenated star formation. The system exhibits a mass-weighted (light-weighted) stell…

Limits of Disclosure in Search Markets
This paper examines competitive information disclosure in search markets with a mix of savvy consumers, who search costlessly, and inexperienced consumers, who face positive search costs. Savvy consumers incentivize truthful disclosure; inexperienced consumers, concealment. With both types, equilibrium features partial disclosure, which persists despite intense competition: in large markets, firms always conceal low valuations. Inexperienced consumers may search actively, but only in small mark…

Rules and Meaning in Quantum Mechanics
This book concerns the metasemantics of quantum mechanics (QM). Roughly, it pursues an investigation at the intersection of philosophy of physics and philosophy of language, and it offers a critical analysis of rival explanations of the semantic facts of standard QM. Two problems for such explanations are discussed: categoricity and permanence. New results include 1) a reconstruction of Einstein's incompleteness argument, which concludes that a local, separable, and categorical QM cannot exist,…

Lonely Little Red Dots: Challenges to the AGN-nature of little red dots through their clustering and spectral energy distributions
Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a previously unseen population of compact red objects, known as ``little red dots`` (LRDs). We study a new photometrically selected sample of 124 LRDs in the redshift range $z$ $\sim$ 3 - 10 selected from NIRCam coverage of the CEERS, NEP-TDF, JADES and JEMS surveys. For JADES, the NEP-TDF and CEERS, we compare SED models with and without AGN components and analyse the impact of an AGN component on the goodness of fit using the Baye…
