AstrogridAstrogrid has developed the Virtual Observatory (VO), offering data access and analysis services. The VO’s motto of “download the results not the data” encapsulates the ability to access large international databases and analyse data on dedicated and remote facilities without the need to download local copies to work on.

MHD ClusterUKMHD Consortium members have access to a 1,000 processor parallel computer for MHD simulations, funded by STFC and SRIF. The work of the UKMHD consortium covers fundamental plasma processes associated with the generation, transport and dissipation of magnetic fields and their associated magnetic energy. This has applications to a wide range of solar physics topics including dynamo action, helioseismology, interactions between convection and magnetic fields in the photosphere, structuring and dynamics of the corona.
