The VMC survey XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge (2020)
Journal Article
Van Loon, & Oliveira. (2020). The VMC survey XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202037478

Context. The Magellanic Clouds are a nearby pair of interacting dwarf galaxies and satellites of the Milky Way. Studying their kinematic properties is essential to understanding their origin and dynamical evolution. They have prominent tidal features... Read More about The VMC survey XXXVIII. Proper motion of the Magellanic Bridge.

WASP-186 and WASP-187: two hot Jupiters discovered by SuperWASP and SOPHIE with additional observations by TESS (2020)
Journal Article
Smalley, Hellier, & Maxted. (2020). WASP-186 and WASP-187: two hot Jupiters discovered by SuperWASP and SOPHIE with additional observations by TESS. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 428-440. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2848

We present the discovery of two new hot Jupiters identified from the WASP survey, WASP-186b and WASP-187b (TOI-1494.01 and TOI-1493.01). Their planetary nature was established from SOPHIE spectroscopic observations, and additional photometry was obta...

The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – II. The Small Magellanic Cloud (2020)
Journal Article
Bell, C. P. M., Cioni, M. L., Wright, A. H., Rubele, S., Nidever, D. L., Tatton, B. L., …Vivas, A. K. (2020). The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – II. The Small Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 499(1), 993 -1004. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2786

We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ? 34 deg2 of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived using optical (ugriz) and near-infrared (IR; YJKs) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of background galaxies. The reddening map is create... Read More about The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – II. The Small Magellanic Cloud.

Illuminating glycoscience: synthetic strategies for FRET-enabled carbohydrate active enzyme probes (2020)
Journal Article
Singh, M., Watkinson, M., Scanlan, E. M., & Miller, G. (2020). Illuminating glycoscience: synthetic strategies for FRET-enabled carbohydrate active enzyme probes. RSC Chemical Biology, 5(1), 352 - 368

Carbohydrates are synthesised, refined and degraded by carbohydrate active enzymes. FRET is emerging as a powerful tool to monitor and quantify their activity as well as to test inhibitors as new drug candidates and monitor disease.

‘Scallywag Bunkers’: Geophysical Investigations of WW2 Auxiliary Unit Operational Bases (OBs) in the UK (2020)
Journal Article
Carr, S., Pringle, J. K., Doyle, P., Wisniewski, K. D., & Stimpson, I. G. (2020). ‘Scallywag Bunkers’: Geophysical Investigations of WW2 Auxiliary Unit Operational Bases (OBs) in the UK. Journal of Conflict Archaeology, 15(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/15740773.2020.1822102

In 1940, with the fall of France imminent, Britain prepared for invasion. After Dunkirk, with most armour and transport lost, a defence ‘stop line’ (GHQ Line) was prepared. Local Defence Volunteers (later Home Guard) were raised to buy time for the H...

Proteomic Characterization of Host-Pathogen Interactions during Bovine Trophoblast Cell Line Infection by Neospora caninum. (2020)
Journal Article
Wastling. (2020). Proteomic Characterization of Host-Pathogen Interactions during Bovine Trophoblast Cell Line Infection by Neospora caninum. Pathogens an international, open access journal of pathogens and pathogen-host interactions, https://doi.org/10.3390/pathogens9090749

Despite the importance of bovine neosporosis, relevant knowledge gaps remain concerning the pathogenic mechanisms of Neospora caninum. Infection of the placenta is a crucial event in the pathogenesis of the disease; however, very little is known abou...

Author Correction: Self-assembled poly-catenanes from supramolecular toroidal building blocks (2020)
Journal Article
Datta, S., Kato, Y., Higashiharaguchi, S., Aratsu, K., Isobe, A., Saito, T., …Yagai, S. (2020). Author Correction: Self-assembled poly-catenanes from supramolecular toroidal building blocks. Nature, 586(7827), E6-E6. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2723-9

Atomistic computer simulations were performed for the actinide oxides (UO2, PuO2 and MOX) in the temperature range 300 K-2000 K, in order to elucidate the physical and defect properties of these nuclear fuel materials. Parameterised cation-anion Buck... Read More about Author Correction: Self-assembled poly-catenanes from supramolecular toroidal building blocks.

In situ spectroscopic identification of the six types of asbestos (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). In situ spectroscopic identification of the six types of asbestos. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 123951 - 123951. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123951

Exposure to asbestos fibres is related to a number of severe lung diseases, and therefore, rapid, accurate and reliable in situ or on-site asbestos detection in real-life samples is of considerable importance. This work presents a comprehensive inves... Read More about In situ spectroscopic identification of the six types of asbestos.

Isotopic ratios in the red giant component of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis (2020)
Journal Article
