Echoes from the companion star in Sco X-1
We present simultaneous X-ray (RXTE) and optical (ULTRACAM) narrow-band (Bowen blend/HeII and nearby continuum) observations of Sco X-1 at 2-10 Hz time...
Eclipsing post-common envelope binaries from the Catalina surveys
We analyse the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey light curves of 835 spectroscopically confirmed white dwarf plus main-sequence binaries from the Sloan...
Effect of telescope vibrations upon high angular resolution imaging
We have analysed short-exposure high-resolution images obtained on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), Big Telescope Azimuthal (BTA) and Canada-France-Hawaii...
Efficient identification of exoplanetary transit candidates from SuperWASP light curves
Transiting extrasolar planets constitute only a small fraction of the range of stellar systems found to display periodic, shallow dimmings in wide-field surveys...
Eight new T4.5-T7.5 dwarfs discovered in the UKIDSS Large Area Survey Data Release 1
We present eight new T4.5-T7.5 dwarfs identified in the UKIRT (United Kingdom Infrared Telescope) Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS) Data...
Einstein@Home discovery of the gamma-ray millisecond pulsar PSR J2039-5617 confirms its predicted redback nature
The Fermi Large Area Telescope gamma-ray source 3FGL J2039.6-5618 contains a periodic optical and X-ray source that was predicted to be a 'redback' millisecond...
Electron temperature fluctuations in Seyfert galaxies
We use Gemini GMOS-IFU observations of three luminous nearby Seyfert galaxies (Mrk 79, Mrk 348, and Mrk 607) to estimate the electron temperature (T e)...
Elemental abundance survey of the Galactic thick disc
We have performed an abundance analysis for F- and G- dwarfs of the Galactic thick-disc component. A sample of 176 nearby (d= 70 per cent taken as certain...
We analyse N-body galaxy merger experiments involving disc galaxies. Mergers of disc-bulge-halo models are compared to those of bulgeless, disc-halo models to...
