Nucleoside analogues represent an historically accomplished class of antiviral drug. Notwithstanding this, new molecular scaffolds are required to overcome their limitations and evolve pharmacophore space within this established field. Herein, we dev...

Context. The light curves of tidally locked hot Jupiters transiting fast-rotating, early-type stars are a rich source of information about both the planet and star, with full-phase coverage enabling a detailed atmospheric characterisation of the plan...

THE TRANSITING PLANETARY SYSTEM WASP-86/KELT-12: TESS PROVIDES THE CASTING VOTE (2022)
Journal Article
Southworth, J., & Faedi, F. (2022). THE TRANSITING PLANETARY SYSTEM WASP-86/KELT-12: TESS PROVIDES THE CASTING VOTE. Observatory, 142, 1 - 10

A transiting planetary system was discovered independently by two groups, under the names WASP-86 (Faedi et al.1) and KELT12 (Stevens et al.2). The properties of the system determined in these works were very different, most tellingly a variation of...

Grids of stellar models with rotation VII: models from 0.8 to 300 M-circle dot at supersolar metallicity (Z=0.020) (2022)
Journal Article
Yusof, N., Hirschi, R., Eggenberger, P., Ekström, S., Georgy, C., Sibony, Y., …Murphy, L. (2022). Grids of stellar models with rotation VII: models from 0.8 to 300 M-circle dot at supersolar metallicity (Z=0.020). Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 511(2), 2814 - 2828. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac230

We present a grid of stellar models at supersolar metallicity (Z = 0.020) extending the previous grids of Geneva models at solar and sub-solar metallicities. A metallicity of Z = 0.020 was chosen to match that of the inner Galactic disc. A modest inc...

An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing (2022)
Journal Article
Sahu, K. C., Anderson, J., Casertano, S., Bond, H. E., Udalski, A., Dominik, M., …Collaboration, R. (2022). An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing. Astrophysical Journal, 933(1),

We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry of the source star of the long-duration (t_E ~ 270 days), high-magnif...

Aluminium co-localises with Biondi ring tangles in Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy (2022)
Journal Article
(2022). Aluminium co-localises with Biondi ring tangles in Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy. Scientific reports, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-05627-8

Aluminium is known to accumulate in neuropathological hallmarks. However, such has only tentatively been suggested in Biondi ring tangles. Owing to their intracellular and filamentous structure rich in beta-pleated sheets, Biondi ring tangles might a...

BEBOP II: sensitivity to sub-Saturn circumbinary planets using radial-velocities (2022)
Journal Article

BEBOP is a radial-velocity survey that monitors a sample of single-lined eclipsing binaries, in search of circumbinary planets by using high-resolution spectrographs. Here, we describe and test the methods we use to identify planetary signals within... Read More about BEBOP II: sensitivity to sub-Saturn circumbinary planets using radial-velocities.

V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's Object): still churning out the dust (2022)

We present a 0.8–2.5 µm spectrum of the Very Late Thermal Pulse object V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s Object), obtained in 2020 September. The spectrum displays a continuum that rises strongly to longer wavelengths, and is considerably brighter than the most r...
