Discovery of the Closest Hot Subdwarf Binary with White Dwarf Companion (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Geier, S., Marsh, T. R., Dunlap, B. H., Barlow, B. N., Schaffenroth, V., Ziegerer, E., …Napiwotzki, R. (2013). Discovery of the Closest Hot Subdwarf Binary with White Dwarf Companion. In 18th European White Dwarf Workshop (EUROWD12) (373)

We report the discovery of an extremely close, eclipsing binary system. A white dwarf is orbited by a core He-burning compact hot subdwarf star with a period as short as ≃ 0.04987 d making this system the most compact hot subdwarf binary discovered s...

Catalytic and mechanistic studies into the epoxidation of styrenes using manganese complexes of structurally similar polyamine ligands (2013)
Journal Article
Ilyashenko, G., De Faveri, G., Follier, T., Al-Safadi, R., Motevalli, M., & Watkinson, M. (in press). Catalytic and mechanistic studies into the epoxidation of styrenes using manganese complexes of structurally similar polyamine ligands. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 12(7), 1124-1134. https://doi.org/10.1039/c3ob42274g

Two structurally similar polyamine ligands (7 and 8) have been prepared, which differ only by the presence of either a secondary or tertiary nitrogen donor within their N5 donor set. The ligands, in combination with iron and manganese salts, have bee...

Constraints on massive star formation: Cygnus OB2 was always an association (2013)
Journal Article
Wright, N. J., Parker, R. J., Goodwin, S. P., & Drake, J. J. (2014). Constraints on massive star formation: Cygnus OB2 was always an association. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 438(1), 639-646. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt2232

We examine substructure and mass segregation in the massive OB association Cygnus OB2 to better understand its initial conditions. Using a well-understood Chandra X-ray selected sample of young stars, we find that Cyg OB2 exhibits considerable physic...

Absolute dimensions of detached eclipsing binaries – III. The metallic-lined system YZ Cassiopeiae (2013)
Journal Article
Pavlovski, K., Southworth, J., Kolbas, V., & Smalley, B. (2014). Absolute dimensions of detached eclipsing binaries – III. The metallic-lined system YZ Cassiopeiae. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 438(1), 590-603. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt2229

The bright binary system YZ Cassiopeiae is a remarkable laboratory for studying the Am phenomenon. It consists of a metallic-lined A2 star and an F2 dwarf on a circular orbit, which undergo total and annular eclipses. We present an analysis of 15 pub...

Thermal Emission Of Wasp-14b Revealed With Three Spitzer Eclipses (2013)
Journal Article
Maxted, Blecic, J., Harrington, J., Madhusudhan, N., Stevenson, K. B., Hardy, R. A., …Maxted, P. F. L. (2013). Thermal Emission Of Wasp-14b Revealed With Three Spitzer Eclipses. Astrophysical Journal, 779(1), https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637X/779/1/5

Exoplanet WASP-14b is a highly irradiated, transiting hot Jupiter. Joshi et al. calculate an equilibrium temperature (T eq) of 1866 K for zero albedo and reemission from the entire planet, a mass of 7.3 ± 0.5 Jupiter masses (M J), and a radius of 1.2...

A micrometer-size movable light emitting area in a resonant tunneling light emitting diode (2013)
Journal Article
Pettinari, G., Balakrishnan, N., Makarovsky, O., Campion, R., Polimeni, A., Capizzi, M., & Patanè, A. (2013). A micrometer-size movable light emitting area in a resonant tunneling light emitting diode. Applied Physics Letters, 241105 - 241105. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4844975

We report on the fabrication of a micrometer-size movable light emitting area in a GaAs/AlAs quantum well resonant tunneling p-i-n diode. The spatial position of the micrometer-size light emitting area shifts linearly with increasing applied bias, up...

Postmortem Interval: Submerged Bodies (2013)
Book Chapter
Simmons, T., & Heaton, V. Postmortem Interval: Submerged Bodies. In Wiley Encyclopedia of Forensic Science (1-10). Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9780470061589.fsa1080

There are an estimated 388 000 victims of accidental drowning worldwide every year, and the number of bodies recovered from water environments is augmented by bodies that are in water because of suicide and homicide. Numerous challenges are created w... Read More about Postmortem Interval: Submerged Bodies.
