Context. We show the benefits of using electron-multiplying CCDs and the shift-and-add technique as a tool to minimise the effects of atmospheric turbulence, such as blending between stars in crowded fields, and to avoid saturated stars in the fields...

Application of a theory and simulation-based convective boundary mixing model for AGB star evolution and nucleosynthesis (2016)
Journal Article
Battino, U., Pignatari, M., Ritter, C., Herwig, F., Denisenkov, P., Den Hartogh, J., …Paxton, B. (2016). Application of a theory and simulation-based convective boundary mixing model for AGB star evolution and nucleosynthesis. Astrophysical Journal, 827(1), 30. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637X/827/1/30

The s-process nucleosynthesis in Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars depends on the modeling of convective boundaries. We present models and s-process simulations that adopt a treatment of convective boundaries based on the results of hydrodynamic si...

Contamination from a nearby star cannot explain the anomalous transmission spectrum of the ultra-short period giant planet WASP-103b (2016)
Journal Article
Southworth, J., & Evans, D. F. (2016). Contamination from a nearby star cannot explain the anomalous transmission spectrum of the ultra-short period giant planet WASP-103b. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 463(1), 37-44. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw1943

The planet in the WASP-103 system is an excellent candidate for transmission spectroscopy because of its large radius and high temperature. Application of this technique found a variation of radius with wavelength which was far too strong to be expla...

The arrangement of ß cells within islets of Langerhans is critical for insulin release through the generation of rhythmic activity. A privileged role for individual ß cells in orchestrating these responses has long been suspected, but not directly de...
