Radiobiology data of melanoma cells after low-energy neutron irradiation and boron compound administration (2020)
Journal Article
(2020). Radiobiology data of melanoma cells after low-energy neutron irradiation and boron compound administration. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 109205 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apradiso.2020.109205

The cold neutron beam at the PF1b line at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), without fast neutrons and a low contribution of gamma rays, is a very suitable facility to measure cell damage following low-energy neutron irradiation. The biological damage... Read More about Radiobiology data of melanoma cells after low-energy neutron irradiation and boron compound administration.

The EBLM project. VII. Spin–orbit alignment for the circumbinary planet host EBLM J0608-59 A/TOI-1338 A (2020)
Journal Article
Maxted, & Hellier. (2020). The EBLM project. VII. Spin–orbit alignment for the circumbinary planet host EBLM J0608-59 A/TOI-1338 A. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1627-1633. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2071

A dozen short-period detached binaries are known to host transiting circumbinary planets. In all circumbinary systems so far, the planetary and binary orbits are aligned within a couple of degrees. However, the obliquity of the primary star, which is... Read More about The EBLM project. VII. Spin–orbit alignment for the circumbinary planet host EBLM J0608-59 A/TOI-1338 A.

Constraining the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase with resolved stellar populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2020)
Journal Article
Van Loon. (2020). Constraining the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch phase with resolved stellar populations in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 3283-3301. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2565

Reliable models of the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase are of critical importance across astrophysics, including our interpretation of the spectral energy distribution of galaxies, cosmic dust production, and enrichment of th...

The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star (2020)
Journal Article
Hellier. (2020). The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 4503-4517. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2502

We report the discovery of a planetary system orbiting TOI-763 (aka CD-39 7945), a V = 10.2, high proper motion G-type dwarf star that was photometrically monitored by the TESS space mission in Sector 10. We obtain and model the stellar spectrum and... Read More about The TOI-763 system: sub-Neptunes orbiting a Sun-like star.

Establishing a minimum PMI for bone sun bleaching in a UK environment with a controlled desert-simulated comparison (2020)
Journal Article
Stokes, S., Greenwood, C., & Márquez-Grant, N. (2020). Establishing a minimum PMI for bone sun bleaching in a UK environment with a controlled desert-simulated comparison. International Journal of Legal Medicine, 134, 2297–2306. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00414-020-02385-y

Microenvironments play a significant part in understanding the post-mortem interval in forensic taphonomy. Recently, the value of weathering factors in relation to obtaining a PMI has been investigated further. In this study, observations were made t...

A white dwarf bound to the transiting planetary system WASP-98 (2020)
Journal Article
Southworth, J., Tremblay, P., Gänsicke, B. T., Evans, D., & Močnik, T. (2020). A white dwarf bound to the transiting planetary system WASP-98. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 497(4), 4416 - 4422. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa2328

WASP-98 is a planetary system containing a hot Jupiter transiting a late-G dwarf. A fainter star 12? distant has previously been identified as a white dwarf, with a distance and proper motion consistent with a physical association with the planetary...

We present the discovery and characterization of WASP-148, a new extrasolar system that includes at least two giant planets. The host star is a slowly rotating inactive late-G dwarf with a V = 12 magnitude. The planet WASP-148b is a hot Jupiter of 0....
