The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – III. The Large Magellanic Cloud (2022)
Journal Article
Van Loon, Bell, C. P. M., Cioni, M. L., Wright, A. H., Nidever, D. L., Chiang, I., …Zaritsky, D. (2022). The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies – III. The Large Magellanic Cloud. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 516(1), 824-840. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1545

We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ≃ 90 deg2 of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) 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 – III. The Large Magellanic Cloud.

Solar-to-supersolar sodium and oxygen absolute abundances for a ‘hot Saturn’ orbiting a metal-rich star (2022)
Journal Article
Nikolov, N. K., Sing, D. K., Spake, J. J., Smalley, B., Goyal, J. M., Mikal-Evans, T., …Mayne, N. J. (2022). Solar-to-supersolar sodium and oxygen absolute abundances for a ‘hot Saturn’ orbiting a metal-rich star. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 515(2), 3037-3058. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1530

We present new analysis of infrared transmission spectroscopy of the cloud-free hot-Saturn WASP-96b performed with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes (HST and Spitzer). The WASP-96b spectrum exhibits the absorption feature from water in excellen...

The impact of O-17 + alpha reaction rate uncertainties on the s-process in rotating massive stars (2022)
Journal Article
Frost-Schenk, J., Adsley, P., Laird, A. M., Longland, R., Angus, C., Barton, C., …Setoodehnia, K. (2022). The impact of O-17 + alpha reaction rate uncertainties on the s-process in rotating massive stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 514(2), 2650 - 2657. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1373

Massive stars are crucial to galactic chemical evolution for elements heavier than iron. Their contribution at early times in the evolution of the Universe, however, is unclear due to poorly constrained nuclear reaction rates. The competing 17O(a, ?)...

Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars – III. SPIRou near-infrared spectroscopy and CHEOPS photometry of the benchmark G0V star EBLM J0113+31 (2022)
Journal Article
Maxted, P. F. L., Miller, N. J., Hoyer, S., Adibekyan, V., Sousa, S. G., Billot, N., …Walton, N. (2022). Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars – III. SPIRou near-infrared spectroscopy and CHEOPS photometry of the benchmark G0V star EBLM J0113+31. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 513(4), 6042-6057. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stac1270

EBLM J0113+31 is a moderately bright (V = 10.1), metal-poor ([Fe/H] approximate to-0.3) GOV star with a much fainter M dwarf companion on a wide, eccentric orbit (= 14.3 d). We have used near-infrared spectroscopy obtained with the SPIRou spectrograp... Read More about Fundamental effective temperature measurements for eclipsing binary stars – III.

The p-process in exploding rotating massive stars (2022)
Journal Article
Choplin, A., Goriely, S., Hirschi, R., Tominaga, N., & Meynet, G. (2022). The p-process in exploding rotating massive stars. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 661, Article A86. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202243331

Context. The p-process nucleosynthesis can explain proton-rich isotopes that are heavier than iron, which are observed in the Solar System, but discrepancies still persist (e.g. for the Mo and Ru p-isotopes), and some important questions concerning t...
