Journal Article
Geier, S., Kupfer, T., Heber, U., Barlow, B. . N., Maxted, P. . F. . L., Heuser, C., …Gaensicke, B. . T. (2015). The Population of White Dwarf Binaries with Hot Subdwarf Companions. Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series, 493,

DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer (DUSTINGS): An Infrared Census of Extreme AGB Stars in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Boyer, M. L., McQuinn, K. . B. . W., Barmby, P., Bonanos, A. . Z., Gehrz, R. . D., Gordon, K. . D., …Zijlstra, A. . A. (2015). DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer (DUSTINGS): An Infrared Census of Extreme AGB Stars in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies. In 497, Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars III: A Closer Look in Space and Time

Nearby resolved dwarf galaxies provide excellent opportunities for studying the dust-producing late stages of stellar evolution. DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer) is a 3.6- and 4.5-μm imaging survey of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc....

Detecting Long Period Variables in M 33 Using UKIRT-WFCAM Images (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Saberi, M., Javadi, A., van Loon, J. T., & Khosroshahi, H. (2015). Detecting Long Period Variables in M 33 Using UKIRT-WFCAM Images. In Vol. 497 – Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars III: A Closer Look in Space and Time (497)

We have used the UK InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) to conduct a near-IR monitoring campaign to search for variable stars in the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33. Most of the 4643 detected variables appear to be Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars.

s-process production in rotating massive stars at solar and low metallicities (2015)
Journal Article
Frischknecht, U., Hirschi, R., Pignatari, M., Maeder, A., Meynet, G., Chiappini, C., …Ekström, S. (2016). s-process production in rotating massive stars at solar and low metallicities. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 456(2), 1803 - 1825. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2723

Rotation was shown to have a strong impact on the structure and light element nucleosynthesis in massive stars. In particular, models including rotation can reproduce the primary nitrogen observed in halo extremely metal poor (EMP) stars. Additional...

Semblance analysis to assess GPR data from a five-year forensic study of simulated clandestine graves (2015)
Journal Article
Booth, A. D., & Pringle, J. K. (2016). Semblance analysis to assess GPR data from a five-year forensic study of simulated clandestine graves. Journal of Applied Geophysics, 125, 37-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jappgeo.2015.11.016

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys have proven useful for locating clandestine graves in a number of forensic searches. There has been extensive research into the geophysical monitoring of simulated clandestine graves in different burial scenario...

Physical properties of the planetary systemsWASP-45 and WASP-46 from simultaneous multiband photometry (2015)
Journal Article
Ciceri, S., Mancini, L., Southworth, J., Lendl, M., Tregloan-Reed, J., Brahm, R., …Wertz, O. (2016). Physical properties of the planetary systemsWASP-45 and WASP-46 from simultaneous multiband photometry. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 456(1), 990 -1002. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2698

Accurate measurements of the physical characteristics of a large number of exoplanets are useful to strongly constrain theoretical models of planet formation and evolution, which lead to the large variety of exoplanets and planetary-system configurat...

Incorporation of Cobalt-Cyclen Complexes into Templated Nanogels Results in Enhanced Activity (2015)
Journal Article
Jorge, A. R., Chernobryva, M., Rigby, S. E. J., Watkinson, M., & Resmini, M. (2016). Incorporation of Cobalt-Cyclen Complexes into Templated Nanogels Results in Enhanced Activity. Chemistry - A European Journal, 22(11), 3764-3774. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.201503946

Recent advances in nanomaterials have identified nanogels as an excellent matrix for novel biomimetic catalysts using the molecular imprinting approach. Polymerisable Co-cyclen complexes with phosphonate and carbonate templates have been prepared, fu...
