Abstract

Micro robotics has the potential to improve the efficiency and reduce cost of future multi-object instruments for astronomy. This thesis reports on the development and evolution of a micro autonomous pick-off mirror called the Micro Autonomous Positioning System (MAPS) that can be used in a multi-object spectrograph. The design of these micro-autonomous pick-off mirrors is novel as they are capable of high precision positioning using electromagnetic propulsion through utilising non-conventional components and techniques. These devices are self-driven robotic units, which with the help of an external control system are capable of positioning themselves on an instruments focal plane to within 24 μm. This is different from other high precision micro robotics as they normally use piezoelectric actuators for propulsion. Micro robots have been developed that use electromagnetic motors, however they are not used for high precision applications. Although there is a plethora of literature covering design, functionality and capability of precision micro autonomous systems, there is limited research on characterisation methods for their use in astronomical applications. This work contributes not only to the science supporting the design of a micro-autonomous pick-off mirror but also presents a framework for characterising such miniature mechanisms. The majority of instruments are presented with a curved focal plane. Therefore, to ensure that the pick-off mirrors are aligned properly with the receiving optics, either the pick-off mirror needs to be tipped or the receiving optics repositioned. Currently this function is implemented in the beam steering mirror (i.e. the receiving optics). The travel range required by the beam steering mirror is relatively large, and as such, it is more difficult to achieve the positional accuracy and stability. By incorporating this functionality in the pick-off mirror, the instrument can be optimised in terms of size, accuracy and stability. A unique self-adjusting mirror (SAM) is thus proposed as a solution and detailed. As a proof-of-concepts both MAPS and SAM usability in multi-object spectrographs was evaluated and validated. The results indicate their potential to meet the requirements of astronomical instruments and reduce both the size and cost.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the spatial variation in the uptake of social security benefits following a large and detrimental exogenous shock. Specifically, we focus on the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. We construct a two-period panel of 66 Territorial Authorities (TAs) of New Zealand (NZ) observed in 2008-09 and 2020-21. We find that, despite the totally different nature of the two shocks, the initial increase in benefit uptake due to the COVID-19 pandemic was of a similar magnitude as that of the GFC, and the spatial pattern was also quite similar. We link the social security data with 146 indicator variables across 15 domains that were obtained from population censuses that were held two years before each of the two periods. To identify urban characteristics that point to economic resilience, we formulate spatial panel regression models. Additionally, we use machine learning techniques. We find that the most resilient TAs had two years previously: (1) a low unemployment rate; and (2) a large public sector. Additionally, but with less predictive power, we find that TAs had a smaller increase in social security uptake after the shock when they had previously: (3) a high employment rate (or high female labour force participation rate); (4) a smaller proportion of the population stating ethnicities other than NZ European; (5) a smaller proportion of the population living in more deprived area units. We also find that interregional spillovers matter and that resilient regions cluster.

Abstract

MOONS is the new Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph currently under construction for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at ESO. This remarkable instrument combines, for the first time, the collecting power of an 8-m telescope, 1000 fibres with individual robotic positioners, and both low- and high-resolution simultaneous spectral coverage across the 0.64-1.8 micron wavelength range. This facility will provide the astronomical community with a powerful, world-leading instrument able to serve a wide range of Galactic, extragalactic and cosmological studies. Construction is now proceeding full steam ahead and this overview article presents some of the science goals and the technical description of the MOONS instrument. More detailed information on the MOONS surveys is provided in the other dedicated articles in this Messenger issue., Comment: 8 pages, 5 Figures, Published on the ESO Messenger No. 180

38. Did the Post-1986 Decline in the Homeownership Rate Benefit the New Zealand Labour Market? A Spatial-Econometric Exploration

Abstract

The proportion of New Zealand households living in owner-occupied dwellings has declined steadily since the early 1990s. The unemployment rate declined steadily as well, except for upward shifts due to the late 1990s Asian Financial Crisis and the Global Financial Crisis a decade later. Research initiated by Andrew Oswald in the 1990s posits that declining homeownership and declining unemployment are linked and that the causality runs from high homeownership leading to high unemployment. The international empirical evidence for this hypothesis is rather mixed. In this paper we revisit the issue with New Zealand census data for commuting-defined labour market areas from 1986 until 2013. Allowing for spatial spillovers in our data, we apply a general nesting spatial econometric model. We also consider the potentially different impacts of freehold and mortgaged homeownership. Generally, the evidence that a declining homeownership rate contributes to a lower unemployment is statistically fragile, but a greater prevalence of freehold ownership and mortgaged ownership below the mean across labour market areas do have small upward effects on a labour market area’s unemployment rate.

43. The Teaching of DNA Replication in Schools: Thirty Years On, Thirty Years Out of Date?

Author

Cochrane, William and Dockerty, Alex

Abstract

Suggests that many textbooks intended as standard A-level texts contain accounts of DNA synthesis which are out of date, and in some cases, contain unhelpful or misleading simplifications. An outline of recommended materials and guidelines on how recent advances aid the understanding of this process are presented. (Author/JN)
