    • Dust in a Hostile Environment: Interstellar Dust in the Line of Sight to HD62542 

      Magalhaes, A.M.; Rodrigues, C.V.; Meade, M.; Code, A.D.; Nordsieck, K.H.; Anderson, C.M.; Bailey, J.; Hough, J.; Wheatley, P.J. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)
      HD 62542 is situated in a line of sight toward a ridge of dark matter in the Gum Nebula. That region is under the influence of UV radiation and stellar winds from hot stars. We use for the first time interstellar polarization ...

    • An extremely luminous panchromatic outburst from the nucleus of a distant galaxy 

      Levan, Andrew; Tanvir, Nial; Cenko, S.B.; Perley, D.A.; Wiersema, K.; Bloom, J.S.; Fruchter, A.S.; Postigo, A.; O'Brien, O.T.; Butler, N.R.; van der Horst, A.J.; Leloudas, G.; Morgan, A.N.; Misra, K.; Bower, G.C.; Farihi, J.; Tunnicliffe, R.L.; Modjaz, M.; Silverman, J.M.; Hjorth, J.; Thone, C.C.; Cucchiara, A.; Ceron, J.M.C.; Castro-Tirado, A.J.; Arnold, J.A.; Bremer, M.; Brodie, J.P.; Carroll, T.; Cooper, M.C.; Curran, P.; Cutri, R.M.; Ehle, J.; Forbes, D.; Fynbo, J.; Gorosabel, J.; Graham, J.; Hoffman, D.I.; Guziy, S.; Jakobsson, Pall; Kamble, A.P.; Kerr, T.H.; Kasliwal, M.M.; Kouveliotou, C.; Kocevski, D.; Law, N.M.; Nugent, P.; Ofek, E.O.; Poznanski, D.; Quimby, R.M.; Rol, E.; Romanowsky, A.J.; Sanchez-Ramirez, R.; Schulze, S.; Singh, N.; Van Spaandonk, Lieke; Starling, R.L.; Strom, R.G.; Tello, J.C.; Vaduvescu, O.; Wheatley, P.J.; Wijers, R.A.M.J.; Winters, J.M.; Xu, D. (2011)
      Variable x-ray and gamma-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the universe. We present multiwavelength observations of a unique gamma-ray-selected transient detected by the Swift satellite, ...

    • RAT J1953+1859: a dwarf nova discovered through high amplitude QPOs in quiescence 

      Ramsay, G.; Hakala, P.; Barclay, T.; Wheatley, P.J.; Marshall, G.; Lehto, H.; Napiwotzki, R.; Nelemans, G.; Potter, S.; Todd, I. (2009)
      We report the discovery of an accreting binary, RAT J1953+1859, made during the RApid Temporal Survey (RATS) on the Isaac Newton Telescope. It showed high amplitude (0.3 mag) quasi-periodic oscillations on a time-scale of ...

    • SuperWASP-N extra-solar planet candidates between 18hr<RA<21hr

    • Testing Magnetic Braking: The X-ray Activity of M Dwarfs in Pre-Cataclysmic Variable Systems 

      Briggs, K.R.; Napiwotzki, R.; Maxted, P.F.L.; Wheatley, P.J. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2007)
      Angular momentum loss by magnetic braking is believed to be an important mechanism in the evolution of tidally-locked white dwarf (WD) bina- ries. We measure the X-ray emission of a sample of M dwarfs in pre-cataclysmic ...
