Astronomy, Radio Sources, and Society: The Wonderful Century

Leiden Observatory is hosting the "Astronomy, Radio Sources, and Society: The Wonderful Century" symposium on 10-13 June 2013. The event will bring together some of today's top research astronomers, science, policy makers, science communicators and educators and members of the media to discuss several topics on astronomy, radio sources and society and celebrate Professor George Miley's achievements in the different domains of astronomy.

In June 2013 Leidse Schouwburg (Leiden theatre) in the Netherlands will host the "Astronomy, Radio Sources, and Society: The Wonderful Century" symposium. The 4-day event provides an opportunity to celebrate Prof. George Miley's contributions to astronomy throughout his 50-year career: From his discovery of the most distant object in the universe and his proposal for the new radio telescope, LOFAR, to his directorship of Leiden Observatory in times of changes and his international educational program designed to inspire children with astronomy, Universe Awareness (UNAWE). The Symposium will be split into four sections, covering the vital relations between astronomy, radio sources and society.

The first day is themed "Astronomy and Society" and will cover topics ranging from the successes of big astronomy projects across the world and the lessons learned from them, to the role of astronomy in stimulating social and economical growth. This session will include contributions from Sir Martin Rees, Prof. Bernie Fanaroff, Prof. Ron Ekers, Dr. Peter Tindemans and many others.

The evening of the first day ("Astronomy for a Better World") will be for a more general audience and focus on the theme how astronomy can be used as a unique tool to help stimulate global development. It will feature a live astronomical-themed musical performance.

The final 3 days of the symposium will deal with the importance of exploding radio galaxies in astronomy and their use as probes of the evolution of the universe. This will feature new results with the Dutch/European radio telescope LOFAR and potential for advances with next generation astronomical facilities.

During the symposium, Universe Awareness will be organizing a EU-UNAWE Teacher Training Workshop for nursery and primary school educators in the afternoon of 11 June, at Museum Boerhaave in Leiden.

Media members (including active bloggers and other social media professionals) are welcome to attend all parts of the event. For media accreditation, requests for interviews and more information please contact Pedro Russo (russo@strw.leidenuniv.nl, +31 71 527 8419).

Still a Seller's Market in the Commercial Aerospace Sector: Expert Analyst Michael F. Ciarmoli Discusses His Outlook …

67 WALL STREET, New York - May 28, 2013 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs and Equity Analysts. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.

Topics covered: Commercial Aviation and Energy Expenditures - Industrial Restructuring - Emerging Markets Penetration - Heightened M&A Activity - Defense Budget Uncertainty - Capital Equipment Technology Investing

Companies include: Boeing Co. (BA), Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT), BE Aerospace Inc. (BEAV), Triumph Group Inc. (TGI), Rockwell Collins Inc. (COL), Spirit AeroSystems Holdings In (SPR), Precision Castparts Corp. (PCP), TransDigm Group Incorporated (TDG), Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), Orbital Sciences Corp. (ORB) and many more.

In the following excerpt from the Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense Report, an expert analyst discusses the outlook for the sector for investors:

TWST: Are you expecting M&A activity in the commercial aerospace space?

Mr. Ciarmoli: We are, and we have been seeing elevated M&A there as well. Companies like Precision Castparts, TransDigm (TDG), Triumph Group have all been pretty active. It still is very much a seller's market.

Again, going back to the end-market drivers, the health of the market is very good, so the prices that are being asked tend to be pretty rich, in the 10- to 12-times EBITDA range. That is causing some hesitation for some potential acquirers out there, but overall we do expect to see continued consolidation in this market. I think that trend will continue.

In terms of opportunities for investors, probably not too many U.S. publicly traded companies would be out there on the hit list. I get the sense it's going to be a lot of smaller, private companies or international companies that would be the targets of consolidation.

TWST: Did anything in particular stand out for you from the most recent quarterly earnings calls; any particular themes or a tone among management comments?

Mr. Ciarmoli: There are a couple of big trends in commercial aerospace centered upon bullish optimism toward production, and what I will call some hesitation on the aftermarket side. We discussed earlier the bullish optimism on OE production, but there are some underlying trends that are getting talked about that are really having an impact on aftermarket and OE production.

In the following excerpt from the Industrial Equipment, Aerospace and Defense Report, an expert analyst discusses the outlook for the sector for investors:

TWST: Are there any particular names that stand to benefit the most from the new aircraft production?

Mr. Ciarmoli: We've been highlighting our top three ideas for 2013, all of which are "buy"-rated: B/E Aerospace (BEAV), Triumph Group (TGI) and Rockwell Collins (COL). We've tried to find companies that have significantly more exposure to the commercial aerospace build cycle; that is, Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier (BBD-A.TO) related revenues, and a lower mix of aftermarket revenues, which tend to be a little bit more shorter-cycle, unpredictable and do move with the general economy.

Many commercial aerospace companies do have content on military platforms, so we've tried to identify companies that have as little as possible exposure to the overall defense sector. The best case is B/E Aerospace. We've also talked a lot about Spirit AeroSystems (SPR), another "buy"-rated name, a commercial aerospace pure play basically leveraged solely to Boeing. But those are the big ideas that we've been pushing all year, and we continue to like those names. They have performed well year to date, and we expect them to continue to trend higher.

TWST: I was going to ask you what your favorite names are. Are there any others you would call attention to?

Mr. Ciarmoli: Within commercial aerospace, it would be those four. We also recently upgraded Precision Castparts (PCP) to "buy," probably one of the higher-quality management teams, one of the more unique and differentiated business models in the sector. It's a larger-cap name, $27 billion market cap, but when we're looking at this mix of which companies are leveraged to the OE production cycle, we really do favor Precision Castparts' end-market profile: A lot of exposure to the Boeing 787, roughly $12 million of content, so as that platform begins to ramp up to 10 per month in the latter portion of 2013 and into 2014, we see PCP being a big beneficiary...
