Research Interests

SMART1 goes to the Moon

In 2003 I shifted the balance of my research activities away from observational astronomy and into planetary science, focussing especially on the Moon. I was a co-investigator on the D-CIXS instrument (Demonstration of a Compact Imaging X-Ray Spectrometer), which orbited the Moon on ESA's SMART1 spacecraft between 2004 and 2006 (pictured opposite), and I chaired the Science Team for the Chandrayaan-1 X-Ray spectrometer (C1XS) on India's Chandrayaan-1 lunar mission launched in October 2008. These instruments provide compositional information about the lunar surface (in particular the abundances of magnesium, aluminium, silicon, calcium, titanium and iron) which will be used to constrain models of lunar evolution. Together with colleagues at Birkbeck College, University College and the Natural History Museum, I am involved in the geochemical and mineralogical analysis of lunar samples, in part with a view to using these samples of the Moon to calibrate and interpret lunar remote sensing data. I am also a member of the UK Lunar Penetrator Consortium, which aims to emplace geophysical instruments on the lunar surface, and acted as Project Scientist for the proposed UK-led MoonLITE mission for which I have helped define the scientific objectives. Last, but not least, I have a significant interest in defining the scientific case for renewed human exploration of the Moon, as set out in the following paper in Space Policy, and was a member of the UK Space Exploration Working Group in 2007, which recommended increased UK involvement in global space exploration.

In 2007 I was elected Geophysical Secretary, and in 2011 Senior Secretary, of the Royal Astronomical Society, and was a Vice President from 2017-2019. Between 2008 and 2014, I was a member of the European Space Sciences Committee (ESSC) of the European Science Foundation. Between 2014 and 2018, I was a member of the European Space Agency's Human Spaceflight and Exploration Science Advisory Committee (HESAC), and in August 2020 I was appointed as a member of the UK Space Agency's Space Exploration Advisory Committee (SEAC).

My earlier astronomical research had mostly concerned the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of interstellar and circumstellar environments, as probed by high-resolution optical spectroscopy. This was largely based on the unique capabilities of the Ultra-High-Resolution Facility (UHRF) at the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). With a resolving power of one million, the UHRF is the world's highest resolution astronomical spectrograph, and permitted significant advances in our understanding of the interstellar medium through its ability to resolve the intrinsic profiles of interstellar absorption lines. In the circumstellar field, my interests mainly concerned the study of circumstellar (presumably protoplanetary) disks and their central stars. Between 1998 and 2003 I held a PPARC (now STFC) Advanced Fellowship for research in these areas.
