We present a mid-infrared analysis of star-formation activity in the Large Magellanic Cloud's molecular ridge (south of 30 Doradus). The Magellanic Clouds are a rare laboratory in which extragalactic star-formation diagnostics can be tested at high spatial resolution. ... Detailed analysis in very nearby galaxies, like the Magellanic Clouds, allows us to test and better understand the scaling relations used in unresolved and distant star-formation regions. ...

... Research . ... I aim to understand the variety of processes that have driven galaxy formation and mass assembly across cosmological history via the resolved (star-by-star) study of nearby systems - in particular the Milky Way and Andromeda (especially their stellar halos and globular cluster populations), the Magellanic Clouds, and the myriad of smaller dwarfs that inhabit the "Local Group".б  . ... Globular clusters are fascinating objects in their own right. ...

... Rates are estimated to be from 50-100 meteors per hour in prime observing conditions. But this is the so-called ZHR, or Zenithal Hourly Rate, which is the number of meteors per hour which would be seen by an experienced observer, with the radiant in the zenith, in a perfectly clear dark sky. ... The peak is expected to be at 23.30 UT so as the radiant (in the 'Sickle' of Leo) will not even have risen from most of Ireland by then, we will see very few meteors, if any, at that time. ...
