Characterising patterns of engagement of different participants in a public STEM-based analysis project (2018)
Journal Article
Essex, J., & Haxton, K. (2018). Characterising patterns of engagement of different participants in a public STEM-based analysis project. International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 8(2), 178-191. https://doi.org/10.1080/21548455.2017.1423128

A STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) analysis project undertaken in the context of a historic visitor site is described. The project offered different types of opportunity for scientific working, and involved four distinct groups...

An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst (2018)
Journal Article
Schneider, F. R. N., Sana, H., Evans, C. J., Bestenlehner, J. M., Castro, N., Fossati, L., …Norman, C. (2018). An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst. Science, 359(6371), 69-71. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aan0106

The 30 Doradus star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud is a nearby analog of large star-formation events in the distant universe. We determined the recent formation history and the initial mass function (IMF) of massive stars in 30 Doradus... Read More about An excess of massive stars in the local 30 Doradus starburst.

A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark120. IV. XMM-Newton and NuSTAR spectra dominated by two temperature (warm, hot) Comptonization processes (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark120. IV. XMM-Newton and NuSTAR spectra dominated by two temperature (warm, hot) Comptonization processes. Astronomy & Astrophysics, A42 -?. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201731290

We perform an X-ray spectral analysis of the brightest and cleanest bare AGN known so far, Ark 120, in order to determine the process(es) at work in the vicinity of the SMBH. We present spectral analysis of data from an extensive campaign observing A... Read More about A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark120. IV. XMM-Newton and NuSTAR spectra dominated by two temperature (warm, hot) Comptonization processes.

Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives are potent anti-platelet drugs, inhibiting platelet activation, aggregation and showing synergy with aspirin. (2018)
Journal Article
Reynisson. (2018). Thieno[2,3-b]pyridine derivatives are potent anti-platelet drugs, inhibiting platelet activation, aggregation and showing synergy with aspirin. European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1997 - 2004. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2017.11.014

Drugs which inhibit platelet function are commonly used to prevent blood clot formation in patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) or those at risk of stroke. The thieno[3,2-c]pyridine class of therapeutic agents, of which clopidogrel is the mos...

The VMC survey - XXVI. Structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud from RR Lyrae stars (2018)
Journal Article
Van Loon. (2018). The VMC survey - XXVI. Structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud from RR Lyrae stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 3131-3146. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2514

We present results from the analysis of 2997 fundamental mode RR Lyrae variables located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). For these objects, near-infrared time series photometry from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds system (VMC) and visu... Read More about The VMC survey - XXVI.

Journal Article
Ryu, Y., Yee, J., Udalski, A., Bond, I., Shvartzvald, Y., Zang, W., …von Essen, C. (2018). OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb: The First Spitzer Bulge Planet Lies Near the Planet/Brown-dwarf Boundary. Astronomical Journal, 155(1), Article 40. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/aa9be4

We report the discovery of OGLE-2016-BLG-1190Lb, which is likely to be the first Spitzer microlensing planet in the Galactic bulge/bar, an assignation that can be confirmed by two epochs of high-resolution imaging of the combined source–lens baseline...
