During the year, more than 20 external research staff visited the Armagh Observatory for discussions and collaboration on joint research projects. These included Katalin Olah (Konkoly Observatory, Budapest), Vacheslav Emel'yanenko (South Ural University, Chelyabinsk, Russia), Stan Owocki (Bartol Research Institute, University of Delaware, USA), Fathi Namouni (Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado, USA), Ramon Brasser (Turku, Finland), Stefan Dreizler (University of Tübingen, Germany), Youra Taroyan (University of Sheffield), Tigran Khanzadyan (MPIA, Heidelberg, Germany), Tigran Movsessian (Byurakan Observatory, Armenia), Tigran Magakian (Byurakan Observatory, Armenia), Simon Glover (American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA), Roland Gredel (MPIA, Heidelberg, Germany), John Drilling (Louisiana State University, USA), Alex Rosen (DIAS and DCU, Dublin), Dirk Froebrich (DIAS, Dublin), Julio Fernández (Montevideo, Uruguay), Janacki Wickramasinghe (Cardiff), Chris Trayner (University of Leeds), Simon O'Toole (Nürnberg, Germany), Carl Foley (MSSL), Ioannis Giannikakis (Athens, Greece), Maria Madjarska (MSSL, Surrey), and David García Alvarez (Harvard-Smithsonian Observatory, USA).
Amongst the external visitors, perhaps the most well known in the academic community were Professors Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge, famous for their pioneering work on the origin of the chemical elements (Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler and Hoyle, Reviews of Modern Physics, 29, 547-650, 1957). The Burbidges (see Figure 9, who have a research collaboration with Bill Napier on the analysis of apparent periodicities in the frequency distribution of redshifts associated with quasars, visited the Observatory on 28 July 2003 (see www.arm.ac.uk/press/Burbidge.html). Margaret Burbidge, a former Director of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, presented a seminar on her discovery of further puzzles relating to the redshift distribution and clustering of quasars apparently associated with nearby spiral galaxies undergoing starburst and related kinds of energetic nuclear activity.
