    Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of dwarf planet (136472) Makemake
    Context. Icy dwarf planets are key for studying the chemical and physical states of ices in the outer solar system. The study of secular and rotational...

    Search for star clustering: methodology and application to the Two Micron Galactic Survey
    A new approach to the study of the large-scale stellar cluster distribution in the Galaxy based on two-point correlation techniques is presented. The basic...

    Search for variable stars in the Carina dSph galaxy.
    We discuss methods and preliminary results in a search for variable stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. This galaxy presents a complex star formation history and...

    Search for Very High Energy Gamma-ray Emission from Pulsar-Pulsar Wind Nebula Systems with the MAGIC Telescope
    The MAGIC collaboration has searched for high-energy gamma-ray emission of some of the most promising pulsar candidates above an energy threshold of 50 GeV, an...

    Searching for Fermi GRB optical counterparts with the prototype Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The typical detection rate of ~1 gamma-ray burst (GRB) per day by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) provides a valuable opportunity to further our...

    Searching for non-Gaussianity in the Very Small Array data
    We have tested Very Small Array (VSA) observations of three regions of sky for the presence of non-Gaussianity, using high-order cumulants, Minkowski...
  • Publication
    Searching for transiting circumbinary planets in CoRoT and ground-based data using CB-BLS
    Aims: Already from the initial discoveries of extrasolar planets it was apparent that their population and environments are far more diverse than initially...
  • Publication
    Searching for transits in data with long time baselines and poor sampling
    Aims: The standard method of searching parameter space for transits is ill-suited to data sets with long time baselines and poor temporal coverage, such as that...
  • Publication
    Secondary eclipses in the CoRoT light curves. A homogeneous search based on Bayesian model selection
    Aims: We aim to identify and characterize secondary eclipses in the original light curves of all published CoRoT planets using uniform detection and evaluation...
