Rapid Temporal Survey (RaTS) - the search for ultra compact binaries
Ultra Compact Binaries are predicted to be the strongest known sources of gravitational waves in the LISA pass-band. Since they are at the short period end of...
Rare dusty galaxies in the early Universe: Herschel unveils extreme star-formation
Over the past ~20 years the high-redshift Universe has been increasingly opened to scrutiny at far-infrared wavelengths, where cool dust emission from star...
Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the smallest, closest and most abundant galaxies in the Universe and therefore excellent laboratories to study star...
