Journal Article
Lanzafame, A. C., Frasca, A., Damiani, F., Franciosini, E., Cottaar, M., Sousa, S. G., …Zaggia, S. (2015). Gaia-ESO Survey: Analysis of pre-main sequence stellar spectra. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 576, Article A80. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201424759

Context. The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is obtaining high-quality spectroscopy of some 100 000 Milky Way stars using the FLAMES spectrograph at the VLT, down to V = 19 mag, systematically covering all the main components of the Milky Way an...

Theory and Practice: Bulk Synthesis of C3B and its H2- and Li-Storage Capacity (2015)
Journal Article
King, T. C., Matthews, P. D., Glass, H., Cormack, J. A., Holgado, J. P., Leskes, M., …Wright, D. S. (2015). Theory and Practice: Bulk Synthesis of C3B and its H2- and Li-Storage Capacity. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 54(20), 5919-5923. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201412200

Previous theoretical studies of C3B have suggested that boron-doped graphite is a promising H2- and Li-storage material, with large maximum capacities. These characteristics could lead to exciting applications as a lightweight H2-storage material for... Read More about Theory and Practice: Bulk Synthesis of C3B and its H2- and Li-Storage Capacity.

Selective Lability of Ruthenium(II) Arene Amino Acid Complexes (2015)
Journal Article
Scrase, T. G., O’Neill, M. J., Peel, A. J., Senior, P. W., Matthews, P. D., Shi, H., …Barker, P. D. (2015). Selective Lability of Ruthenium(II) Arene Amino Acid Complexes. Inorganic Chemistry, 54(7), 3118-3124. https://doi.org/10.1021/ic502051y

A series of organometallic complexes of the form [(PhH)Ru(amino acid)]+ have been synthesized using amino acids able to act as tridentate ligands. The straightforward syntheses gave enantiomerically pure complexes with two stereogenic centers due to... Read More about Selective Lability of Ruthenium(II) Arene Amino Acid Complexes.

SPECTROSCOPIC ORBITAL PERIODS FOR 29 CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES FROM THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY (2015)
Journal Article
Thorstensen, J. R., Taylor, C. J., Peters, C. S., Skinner, J. N., Southworth, J., & Gänsicke, B. T. (2015). SPECTROSCOPIC ORBITAL PERIODS FOR 29 CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES FROM THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY. Astronomical Journal, 149(4), 128. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-6256/149/4/128

We report follow-up spectroscopy of 29 cataclysmic variables from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), 22 of which were discovered by SDSS and seven of which are previously known systems that were recovered in SDSS. The periods for 16 of these object... Read More about SPECTROSCOPIC ORBITAL PERIODS FOR 29 CATACLYSMIC VARIABLES FROM THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY.

The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG VI. The curious case of TrES-4b (2015)
Journal Article
Sozzetti, A., Bonomo, A., Biazzo, K., Mancini, L., Damasso, M., Desidera, S., …Southworth, J. (2015). The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG VI. The curious case of TrES-4b. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 575, Article L15. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201425570

We update the TrES-4 system parameters using high-precision HARPS-N radial-velocity measurements and new photometric light curves. A combined spectroscopic and photometric analysis allows us to determine a spectroscopic orbit with a semi-amplitude K... Read More about The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG VI.

The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG V. A comprehensive analysis of the XO-2 stellar and planetary systems (2015)
Journal Article
Damasso, M., Biazzo, K., Bonomo, A., Desidera, S., Lanza, A., Nascimbeni, V., …Southworth, J. (2015). The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG V. A comprehensive analysis of the XO-2 stellar and planetary systems. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 575, Article A111. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201425332

Aims. XO-2 is the first confirmed wide stellar binary system where the almost twin components XO-2N and XO-2S have planets, and it is a peculiar laboratory in which to investigate the diversity of planetary systems. This stimulated a detailed charact... Read More about The GAPS programme with HARPS-N at TNG V. A comprehensive analysis of the XO-2 stellar and planetary systems.

High-precision multiband time series photometry of exoplanets Qatar-1b and TrES-5b (2015)

We present an analysis of the Qatar-1 and TrES-5 transiting exoplanetary systems, which contain Jupiter-like planets on short-period orbits around K-dwarf stars. Our data comprise a total of 20 transit light curves obtained using five medium-class te... Read More about High-precision multiband time series photometry of exoplanets Qatar-1b and TrES-5b.

Evidence for colony-specific differences in chemical mimicry in the parasitic mite Varroa destructor (2015)
Journal Article
Kather, R., Drijfhout, F. P., & Martin, S. J. (2015). Evidence for colony-specific differences in chemical mimicry in the parasitic mite Varroa destructor. Chemoecology, 25(4), 215-222. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00049-015-0191-8

In social insects, the integrity of a colony is maintained by recognising and removing intruders. Nest-mates use chemical cues on the cuticle of the individual they encounter to determine whether or not it is part of the colony. Parasites have evolve...
