Close binary central stars and the abundance discrepancy - new extreme objects
Recent work (Corradi et al. 2015; Jones et al. 2016) has shown that the phenomenon of extreme abundance discrepancies, where recombination line abundances...
We use a well understood N-body simulation combined with an analytic subhalo model to generate statistics for a defined sample of z 3 Lyman break galaxy (LBG)...
Close visual binaries among planetary-mass objects in star-forming regions: the HST view
Over the past decade, microlensing surveys in field stars and the Gaia-informed census of nearby star-forming regions have convincingly demonsrated the presence...
Close-up of primary and secondary asteroseismic CoRoT targets and the ground-based follow-up observations
To optimise the science results of the asteroseismic part of the CoRoT satellite mission a complementary simultaneous ground-based observational campaign is...
Closed loop operation with extremely elongated LGS spots in CANARY Phase D
CANARY is a wide-field AO on-sky test facility which has been operated annually on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope since 2010. CANARY has the stated goal of...
Supermassive black holes, and the outflows they drive, are an established part of our understanding of galaxy evolution. Indeed, cosmological models rely on...
