Journal Article
Poleski, R., Zhu, W., Christie, G. W., Udalski, A., Gould, A., Bachelet, E., …Wertz, O. (in press). The Spitzer Microlensing Program As A Probe For Globular Cluster Planets: Analysis Of Ogle-2015-BLG-0448. Astrophysical Journal, 823(1), Article 63. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637X/823/1/63

The microlensing event OGLE-2015-BLG-0448 was observed by Spitzer and lay within the tidal radius of the globular cluster NGC 6558. The event had moderate magnification and was intensively observed, hence it had the potential to probe the distributio...

An irradiated brown-dwarf companion to an accreting white dwarf (2016)
Journal Article
Hernández Santisteban, J. V., Knigge, C., Littlefair, S. P., Breton, R. P., Dhillon, V. S., Gänsicke, B. T., …Hauschildt, P. H. (2016). An irradiated brown-dwarf companion to an accreting white dwarf. Nature, 533, 366 -368. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature17952

Interacting compact binary systems provide a natural laboratory in which to study irradiated substellar objects. As the mass-losing secondary (donor) in these systems makes a transition from the stellar to the substellar regime, it is also irradiated...

Lucky imaging observations of 101 systems in the southern hemisphere. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 589, A58. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201527970

Context. Wide binaries are a potential pathway for the formation of hot Jupiters. The binary fraction among host stars is an important discriminator between competing formation theories, but has not been well characterised. Additionally, contaminatin...

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 588, Article C2. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201321819e

Aims. We present the analysis of 26 nights of V and I time-series observations from 2011 and 2012 of the globular cluster M 30 (NGC 7099). We used our data to search for variable stars in this cluster and refine the periods of known variables; we the...

Spitzer microlensing parallax observations of OGLE-2015-BLG-1212 decisively break a degeneracy between planetary and binary solutions that is somewhat ambiguous when only ground-based data are considered. Only eight viable models survive out of an in... Read More about Spitzer Observations Of Ogle-2015-blg-1212 Reveal A New Path Toward Breaking Strong Microlens Degeneracies.

An optical transmission spectrum of the giant planet WASP-36 b (2016)

We present broad-band photometry of five transits in the planetary system WASP-36, totalling 17 high-precision light curves. Four of the transits were simultaneously observed in four passbands (g', r', i', z'), using the telescope-defocusing techniqu...
