Identification of AGN in the XMM-Newton X-ray survey of the SMC (2019)
Journal Article
Maitra, C., Haberl, F., Ivanov, V. D., Cioni, M. L., & Van Loon, J. T. (2019). Identification of AGN in the XMM-Newton X-ray survey of the SMC. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 622, Article A29. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201833663

Context Finding Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) behind the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) is difficult because of the high stellar density in these fields. Although the first AGN behind the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) were reported in the 1980s, it is only r... Read More about Identification of AGN in the XMM-Newton X-ray survey of the SMC.

The Dynamics, Structure, and Fate of a Young Cluster during Gas Dispersal: Hectoschelle, Chandra, Spitzer, and Gaia Observations of Cep OB3b (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). The Dynamics, Structure, and Fate of a Young Cluster during Gas Dispersal: Hectoschelle, Chandra, Spitzer, and Gaia Observations of Cep OB3b. Astrophysical Journal, https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaf4c1

We present a study of the kinematics and structure of the Cep OB3b cluster based on new spectra obtained with the Hectoschelle spectrograph on the MMT and data from Spitzer, Chandra, and Gaia. At a distance of 819 +/- 16 pc, Cep OB3b is one of the cl...

Detectability of shape deformation in short-period exoplanets (2019)
Journal Article
Maxted. (2019). Detectability of shape deformation in short-period exoplanets. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201834215

Context Short-period planets are influenced by the extreme tidal forces of their parent stars. These forces deform the planets causing them to attain nonspherical shapes. The nonspherical shapes, modeled here as triaxial ellipsoids, can have an impa... Read More about Detectability of shape deformation in short-period exoplanets.

Biological nitrogen fixation in peatlands: Comparison between acetylene reduction assay and 15N2 assimilation methods (2019)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2019). Biological nitrogen fixation in peatlands: Comparison between acetylene reduction assay and 15N2 assimilation methods. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 157 - 165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2019.01.011

Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF) is an essential microbial process supplying available nitrogen (N) to Sphagnum mosses in ombrotrophic peatlands. Acetylene Reduction Assay (ARA) and the 15N2 assimilation are the main methods used for the measuremen...

Indium-Mediated 2-Oxonia Cope Rearrangement of 1,4-Dienols to 1,3-Dienols (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Indium-Mediated 2-Oxonia Cope Rearrangement of 1,4-Dienols to 1,3-Dienols. ACS Omega, 785 -792. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.8b03118

An indium-mediated isomerization of 1,4-dienols to 1,3-dienols is described. This procedure consists of the addition of pentadienylindium, in a protic solvent, to aldehydes giving the kinetic ?-allylation product in high yields. The subsequent conver...

Wildlife crime is a growing problem in many rural areas. However, it can often be difficult to determine exactly what had happened and provide evidential Court material, especially where evidence is ephemeral. This paper presents a case study where a...
