Context. In the era of large spectroscopic surveys, massive databases of high-quality spectra coupled with the products of the Gaia satellite provide tools to outline a new picture of our Galaxy. In this framework, an important piece of information i... Read More about The Gaia-ESO survey: the non-universality of the age-chemical-clocks-metallicity relations in the Galactic disc.

In many animals, there is a prolonged pre-reproductive period prior to sexual maturity. To avoid premature mating attempts, it is common for phenotypic changes to occur during this period that signal the onset of reproductive viability. Among the ins...

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). Self-assembled poly-catenanes from supramolecular toroidal building blocks. Nature, 583, 400 - 405. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2445-z

Mechanical interlocking of molecules (catenation) is a nontrivial challenge in modern synthetic chemistry and materials science1,2. One strategy to achieve catenation is the design of pre-annular molecules that are capable of both efficient cyclizati...

Analytical approximations for heat release rate laws in the time- and frequency-domains (2020)
Journal Article
Heckl. (2020). Analytical approximations for heat release rate laws in the time- and frequency-domains. International Journal of Spray and Combustion Dynamics, https://doi.org/10.1177/1756827720930491

This paper focusses on the relationship between the heat release rate and the acoustic field, which is a crucial element in modelling thermoacoustic instabilities. The aim of the paper is twofold. The first aim is to develop a transformation tool, w... Read More about Analytical approximations for heat release rate laws in the time- and frequency-domains.

We report the discovery of two intermediate-mass transiting brown dwarfs (BDs), TOI-569b and TOI-1406b, from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite mission. TOI-569b has an orbital period of P = 6.55604 ± 0.00016 days, a mass of Mb = 64.1 ± 1.9... Read More about Two Intermediate-mass Transiting Brown Dwarfs from the TESS Mission.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of sugar-nucleotide analogues: tools to probe a strategic dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2020)
Thesis
Beswick, L. E. M. (2020). Chemoenzymatic synthesis of sugar-nucleotide analogues: tools to probe a strategic dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (Thesis). Keele University

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic bacterium, responsible for causing life threatening infections amongst fibrosis (CF) patients. Mucoid phenotypes of P. aeruginosa are characterised by overproduction of alginate, an extra-cel...

Thesis
Temple, L. Y. (2020). Confirmation of exoplanet candidates in the Wide-Angle Search for Planets survey via Doppler tomography. (Thesis). Keele University

This work reports the discovery of four new exoplanets, with host stars in the relatively sparse spectral type range mid-F–A. The planets were discovered using the transit method and confirmed via Doppler tomography. The first is WASP-167b/KELT-13b,...
