The evolution of a stereoselective synthesis of the C1–C16 fragment of bryostatins (2016)
Journal Article
Ball, M., Baron, A., Bradshaw, B., Dumeunier, R., O'Brien, M., & Thomas, E. J. The evolution of a stereoselective synthesis of the C1–C16 fragment of bryostatins. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 14(40), 9650-9681. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6ob01804a

The development of a synthesis of the C1–C16 fragment of bryostatins in which the key step is a stereoselective oxy-Michael reaction used to assemble the cis-2,6-disubstituted tetrahydropyran with the exocyclic alkene already installed, is described....

On the Determination of Transiting Planet Properties from Light and Radial Velocity Curves (2016)
Journal Article
Taylor. (2016). On the Determination of Transiting Planet Properties from Light and Radial Velocity Curves. Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 129(972), Article 024401. https://doi.org/10.1088/1538-3873/129/972/024401

A recent publication has suggested a method to determine the masses and radii of the components of an eclipsing system using only a light curve and radial velocities of one component. If true, this would have immediate impact in expediting the study... Read More about On the Determination of Transiting Planet Properties from Light and Radial Velocity Curves.

MiNDSTEp differential photometry of the gravitationally lensed quasars WFI 2033-4723 and HE0047-1756: microlensing and a new time delay (2016)
Journal Article
Giannini, E., Schmidt, R., Wambsganss, J., Alsubai, K., Andersen, J., Anguita, T., …Zimmer, F. (2017). MiNDSTEp differential photometry of the gravitationally lensed quasars WFI 2033-4723 and HE0047-1756: microlensing and a new time delay. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 597, Article A49. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201527422

Aims We present V and R photometry of the gravitationally lensed quasars WFI?2033-4723 and HE?0047-1756. The data were taken by the MiNDSTEp collaboration with the 1.54 m Danish telescope at the ESO La Silla observatory from 2008 to 2012. Methods...

Massive Star Evolution: What we do (not) know (2016)
Journal Article
Georgy, C., Hirschi, R., & Ekström, S. (2016). Massive Star Evolution: What we do (not) know. Proceedings of the Polish Astronomical Society, 5, 37-44

The modelling of massive star evolution is a complex task, and is very sensitive to the way physical processes (such as convection, rotation, mass loss, etc.) are included in stellar evolution code. Moreover, the very high observed fraction of binary... Read More about Massive Star Evolution: What we do (not) know.

WASP-20 IS A CLOSE VISUAL BINARY WITH A TRANSITING HOT JUPITER (2016)
Journal Article
Evans, D. F., Southworth, J., & Smalley, B. (2016). WASP-20 IS A CLOSE VISUAL BINARY WITH A TRANSITING HOT JUPITER. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 833, Article L19. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/833/2/L19

We announce the discovery that WASP-20 is a binary stellar system, consisting of two components separated by 0.2578 ± 0farcs0007 on the sky, with a flux ratio of 0.4639 ± 0.0015 in the K-band. It has previously been assumed that the system consists o... Read More about WASP-20 IS A CLOSE VISUAL BINARY WITH A TRANSITING HOT JUPITER.

The influence of halides in polyoxotitanate cages; dipole moment, splitting and expansion of d-orbitals and electron–electron repulsion (2016)
Journal Article
Li, N., Luo, H., Wright, D., Hanf, S., & Matthews, P. (2016). The influence of halides in polyoxotitanate cages; dipole moment, splitting and expansion of d-orbitals and electron–electron repulsion. Dalton Transactions, 578-585. https://doi.org/10.1039/c6dt04288k

Metal-doped polyoxotitanate (M-POT) cages have been shown to be efficient single-source precursors to metal-doped titania [TiO2(M)] (state-of-the-art photocatalytic materials) as well as molecular models for the behaviour of dopant metal ions in bulk...

Orbital alignment and star-spot properties in the WASP-52 planetary system (2016)
Journal Article
Mancini, L., Southworth, J., Raia, G., Tregloan-Reed, J., Mollière, P., Bozza, V., …Wertz, O. (2017). Orbital alignment and star-spot properties in the WASP-52 planetary system. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(1), 843 - 857. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1987

We report 13 high-precision light curves of eight transits of the exoplanet WASP-52 b, obtained by using four medium-class telescopes, through different filters, and adopting the defocussing technique. One transit was recorded simultaneously from two... Read More about Orbital alignment and star-spot properties in the WASP-52 planetary system.
