Context Determination and calibration of the ages of stars, which heavily rely on stellar evolutionary models, are very challenging, while representing a crucial aspect in many astrophysical areas. Aims We describe the methodologies that, taking... Read More about The Gaia-ESO Survey: open clusters in Gaia-DR1. A way forward to stellar age calibration.

CaYAl3O7 presents a challenge for computer modelling techniques because of its site-occupancy disorder related to the Ca/Y shared site. Supercells were built to reproduce experimental results which have the best agreement and lowest lattice energy. T... Read More about Modelling of Intrinsic Defects in CaYAl3O7.

Energy transfer and photoluminescence properties of lanthanide-containing polyoxotitanate cages coordinated by salicylate ligands (2018)
Journal Article

Polyoxotitanate (POT) cages have attracted considerable attention recently; much of this from the fact that they can be considered to be structural models for the technologically important semiconductor TiO2. Among the reported POT cages, lanthanide-... Read More about Energy transfer and photoluminescence properties of lanthanide-containing polyoxotitanate cages coordinated by salicylate ligands.

Abundance uncertainties obtained with the PIZBUIN framework for Monte Carlo reaction rate variations (2018)
Journal Article
Rauscher, T., Nishimura, N., Cescutti, G., Hirschi, R., & Murphy, A. S. J. (2018). Abundance uncertainties obtained with the PIZBUIN framework for Monte Carlo reaction rate variations. AIP conference proceedings, 1947(1), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5030819

Uncertainties in nucleosynthesis models originating from uncertainties in astrophysical reaction rates were estimated in a Monte Carlo variation procedure. Thousands of rates were simultaneously varied within individual, temperature-dependent errors...

Discovery of a New Classical Nova Shell Around a Nova-like Cataclysmic Variable (2018)
Journal Article
Wright. (2018). Discovery of a New Classical Nova Shell Around a Nova-like Cataclysmic Variable. Astrophysical Journal, https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aab669

The morphology and optical spectrum of IPHASX J210204.7+471015, a nebula classified as a possible planetary nebula are, however, strikingly similar to those of AT Cnc, a classical nova shell around a dwarf nova. To investigate its true nature, we h... Read More about Discovery of a New Classical Nova Shell Around a Nova-like Cataclysmic Variable.

The influence of substituent field and resonance effects on the ease of N-heterocyclic carbene formation from imidazolium rings (2018)

The famous Rosette Nebula has an evacuated central cavity formed from the stellar winds ejected from the 2-6 million-year-old co-distant and co-moving central star cluster NGC 2244. However, with upper age estimates of less than 110,000 years, the ce... Read More about A new mechanical stellar wind feedback model for the Rosette Nebula.
