J. P. Leahy
I'm a senior lecturer in Radio Astronomy in the
University of Manchester's
School
of Physics and Astronomy.
I'm in the Jodrell Bank Centre for
Astrophysics.
Teaching
Current
- PHYS30692: Stars and Stellar Evolution (See Blackboard for course content)
- I also demonstrate astrophysics experiments in the second year lab, and supervise BSc dissertations and MPhys projects
Very old course pages
Research Interests
Current projects
- POSSUM A survey of polarized radio emission covering 75% of the sky with ASKAP
- The C-Band All Sky Survey, a survey at 5 GHz to complement the higher-frequency CMB observations by
Planck and WMAP.
- The eMerlin Legacy programme on Extragalactic Jet Physics
- Studies of the Galactic synchrotron emission and Faraday rotation at
1.5 GHz using Arecibo
(GALFACTS)
and Penticton (GMIMS), with my research student Indy Leclercq.
-
Galactic Synchrotron polarization, as a CMB foreground contaminant. With
my former student Zamri Zainal Abidin, I used
the 100-m Effelsberg
Radio Telescope to map polarized emission away from the Galactic plane,
in collaboration with Wolfgang and Patricia Reich and Richard Wielebinski.
(No it isn't, as a matter of fact).
