other | It is white solid that is air stable, which is unusual for a trialkylphosphine. | ||||||
other | It is prepared by the hydrophosphination of acrylonitrile with phosphine. | ||||||
other | The compound has been the subject of much research. | ||||||
other | For example, it is an effective reagent for the desulfurization of organic disulfides. | ||||||
other | Carole Ann Haswell | ||||||
other | Carole Ann Haswell is a British astrophysicist and current Professor of Astrophysics and Head of Astronomy at the Open University. | ||||||
other | She is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. | ||||||
other | She has been involved in the detection of several exoplanets, including Barnard's Star b. | ||||||
other | Haswell was born in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire, and grew up in Dormanstown. | ||||||
other | Her father worked on an ammonia recovery plant at Imperial Chemical Industries. | ||||||
other | She became interested in space as a child, when her father told her about the Apollo astronauts as they gazed at the moon while on Redcar beach. | ||||||
other | Although she originally wanted to be an astronaut, she realised at the age of ten that this was impractical. | ||||||
other | She attended Huntcliff School where she worked towards her GCE Ordinary Levels. | ||||||
other | Whilst a student at Prior Pursglove and Stockton Sixth Form College, Haswell was interested in art, mathematics and physics, and was a fan of the television show "Star Trek". | ||||||
other | One of her physics teachers was rumoured to be biased against girls, and despite Haswell achieving the highest grades possible in her A-level exams, refused to write her a reference to study physics at university. | ||||||
other | She eventually studied mathematics at the University of Oxford, but wanted to apply mathematics to the real world and became tired of abstract proofs. | ||||||
other | Haswell eventually spoke to Donald Blackwell who helped her transfer courses, and enrolled on a physics degree at University College, Oxford. | ||||||
other | During her time as an undergraduate student, Haswell was President of the Oxford University Astronomical Society and rowed in the Summer Eights. | ||||||
other | Haswell earned her doctorate at the University of Texas at Austin, where she worked on black hole binaries. | ||||||
other | She attended the Hubble Space Telescope launch in 1990. | ||||||
other | She later joined the Space Telescope Science Institute, where she worked on accretion flow and multi-wavelength observations. | ||||||
other | In 1994, Haswell moved to Columbia University, where she worked on black hole X-ray transients and cataclysmic variable stars. | ||||||
other | She was made a lecturer at the Barnard College where one of her students was Lauryn Hill. | ||||||
other | Haswell moved back to the United Kingdom in 1996 and was made a lecturer at the University of Sussex. | ||||||
other | Since 1999, she has been at the Open University, at first still working working on black holes and accreting binary stars and switching to exoplanet research in 2003. | ||||||
other | Early work on exoplanets was not well funded, and Haswell has spoken about using second hand Canon camera lenses to make suitable telescopes. | ||||||
other | First working on accreting binary stars, and then exoplanets. | ||||||
other | In particular, Haswell studies short period exoplanets. | ||||||
other | Since 2012 she has led the "Dispersed Matter Planet Project", which involves the analysis of light from nearby stars to identify which host mass-losing planets. | ||||||
other | In 2018 Haswell was part of the team that was first to identify a planet around Barnard's Star, the closest single (non-binary) star to Earth, a red dwarf star that is six light years away from Earth. | ||||||
other | Using the radial velocity method, the team discovered Barnard's Star b. | ||||||
other | The solar system around Barnard's Star touches on the edge of the Oort cloud. | ||||||
other | Barnard's Star b has a mass three times that of Earth and orbits Barnard's Star in 233 days. | ||||||
other | Haswell has predicted that the planet may have a similar surface temperature to Europa. | ||||||
other | In 2019 Haswell used the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) to discover six extraordinarily hot exoplanets (with surface temperatures between 1100 and 1800 °C). | ||||||
other | At temperatures this high the atmosphere and surface levels of the planet can be lost, and the materials disperse into a thin sheet of gas. | ||||||
other | The gas filters the light from nearby stars, which allowed Haswell and colleagues to study the chemical composition of the atmosphere of the gas sheet. | ||||||
other | The planets have masses equivalent to 2.6 times the mass of the Earth with almost half the mass of Jupiter. | ||||||
other | Haswell has proposed that these planets could be used to understand the geology of the rocky planets in Earth's solar system. | ||||||
other | She is part of the team for CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS), which will examine known exoplanets to improve our understanding of their sizes. | ||||||
other | CHEOPS, which features a 35 cm telescope, launched in December 2019. | ||||||
other | Haswell has been featured in a Royal Astronomical Society exhibition on women fellows. | ||||||
other | She regularly provides expert opinion to the national media and is involved with various outreach programmes through the International Astronomical Union. | ||||||
other | Haswell was awarded the Open University Outreach and Public Engagement Award for her work targeted at people with low science capital in Teesside. | ||||||
other | Haswell has a daughter. | ||||||
other | She is interested in the stock market and has used her understanding of astrophysics to buy and sell stocks. | ||||||
other | Haswell's publications include: | ||||||
other | Oldknows Factory, Nottingham | ||||||
other | The Oldknows Factory is a former lace factory on St Ann's Hill Road, in the city of Nottingham in England. | ||||||
other | The factory is formed of two 18th century factories, which have since been joined. | ||||||
other | The original purpose of both factories was the manufacture of lace. | ||||||
other | It's since been converted to house artist studios, workshops, and offices to rent. | ||||||
other | The original structure remains as a Grade II-listed building. | ||||||
other | Lata Brandisová | ||||||

other | She continued to train as a horse racer at Velká Churchle and Veveří Castle under the coaching of Karel Šmejda. | ||||||
other | In 1927 she signed up to race in the Great Pardubice Steeplechase. | ||||||
other | Her enlistment in the race caused controversy, and she was faced with protests as the race was seen as too dangerous for a woman. | ||||||
other | Petitions were made to the Czechoslovak Jockey Club to have Brandisová removed from the race. | ||||||
other | The Jockey Club decided that she would be allowed to race, following advice from the Royal Jockey Club in Great Britain. | ||||||
other | The Great Pardubice of 1927 was the first time a woman raced, and the first time a French rider raced (Count Alexandre de la Forest). | ||||||
other | Brandisová placed fifth, after falling three times on the race track. | ||||||
other | In 1933 she raced in the Great Pardubice on a mare named Norma and placed third. | ||||||
other | A year later she placed second, and in 1935 she placed fifth. | ||||||
other | In 1937 she raced with Norma in the 56th Great Pardubice. | ||||||
other | At this time, there was extreme tension between Czechoslovakia and the neighboring Nazi Germany, with the Czechs fearing an invasion. | ||||||
other | Over 40,000 people attended the race, hoping to see a Czech jockey defeat the Germans, who had been consecutive champions in the Great Pardubice over the last few years. | ||||||
