Research interests of Observatory staff currently focus on (i) Stellar and Galactic Astrophysics (including star formation, astrophysical jets, cool stars, hot stars, helium stars, star-spots, stellar flares, circumstellar dust), (ii) the Sun (the dynamic solar atmosphere, chromosphere and corona), (iii) Solar System Astronomy (including celestial mechanics, planetary science, and the dynamical evolution and interrelationships of comets, asteroids and interplanetary dust), and (iv) Solar System - Terrestrial Relationships (including solar variability, climate, accretion of interplanetary dust and NEOs). In addition, Observatory staff participate in an active programme of education and lifelong learning via lectures, popular astronomy articles and interviews with the press, radio and television, as well as providing advice to the general public and undertaking a range of Observatory tours. Further details concerning the research interests of the Observatory staff may be obtained from the Observatory web-site at: star.arm.ac.uk.
A subset of the Armagh Observatory's research activity, namely the list of 34 refereed journal publications during 2003, is given in Appendix C. A related subset, namely the list of 69 public and professional presentations delivered by Observatory staff during 2003, is given in Appendix D, while a third subset -- the list of Observatory seminars -- is given in Appendix E.
These examples illustrate some of the routes by which research results are communicated by and to Observatory staff: through presentations or articles in the local, national or international media; at conferences, seminars and workshops; in refereed scientific publications and journals; in books; and in a variety of non-refereed publications.
The remainder of this section summarises a few highlights of the Observatory's research during 2003, and then, under the headings of the Observatory's senior research staff, some of the principal research results obtained during 2003 by these staff and their colleagues.
