A dusty rain falls on the nova V959 Monocerotis (2024)
Journal Article
Evans, A., Banerjee, D. P. K., Varricatt, W. P., & Joshi, V. (2024). A dusty rain falls on the nova V959 Monocerotis. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 531(1), 728-738. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1240

We present archival and ground-based infrared observations of the γ-ray-emitting nova V959 Mon, covering the period 100–4205 d after the 2012 eruption. We use these data to determine that the secondary in the nova system is a G5 main sequence star. D... Read More about A dusty rain falls on the nova V959 Monocerotis.

Kinematic substructure in star clusters constrains star cluster formation (2024)
Journal Article
Arnold, B., & Wright, N. J. (2024). Kinematic substructure in star clusters constrains star cluster formation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 531(1), 1191–1202. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae1236

The spatial-kinematic structure of 48 young star clusters and associations is investigated. Moran’s I statistic is used to quantify the degree of kinematic substructure in each region, and the results are compared to those expected assuming the hiera...

The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12 b from its phase curve (2024)
Journal Article
Akinsanmi, B., Barros, S. C. C., Lendl, M., Carone, L., Cubillos, P. E., Bekkelien, A., …Walton, N. A. (2024). The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12 b from its phase curve. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 685, Article A63. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202348502

Context. Ultra-hot Jupiters present a unique opportunity to understand the physics and chemistry of planets, their atmospheres, and interiors at extreme conditions. WASP-12 b stands out as an archetype of this class of exoplanets, with a close-in orb... Read More about The tidal deformation and atmosphere of WASP-12 b from its phase curve.

Recent developments in pyrene-based fluorescence recognition and imaging of Ag + and Pb 2+ ions: Synthesis, applications and challenges (2024)
Journal Article
Paul, S., Barman, P., Dey, N., & Watkinson, M. (in press). Recent developments in pyrene-based fluorescence recognition and imaging of Ag + and Pb 2+ ions: Synthesis, applications and challenges. Sensors & Diagnostics, https://doi.org/10.1039/d3sd00289f

Contamination of heavy metals in the environment is a burning and contemporary issue of modern life. Whilst lead contamination is historic, the ongoing extensive use of lead in batteries is likely to continue to cause serious environmental problems....

Liquid Metal-Assisted Acylation of Phenols over Zeolite Catalysts (2024)
Journal Article
Zhou, Y., Fang, G., Peron, D., Marinova, M., Zholobenko, V., Khodakov, A. Y., & Ordomsky, V. V. (in press). Liquid Metal-Assisted Acylation of Phenols over Zeolite Catalysts. ACS catalysis, 14(10), 7806-7813. https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.4c00104

The selection of a solvent for the reaction is highly important in catalysis since it profoundly affects the catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability. However, the costly separation of solvent from the products hinders the application of solven... Read More about Liquid Metal-Assisted Acylation of Phenols over Zeolite Catalysts.

Experimental Determination of α Widths of ^{21}Ne Levels in the Region of Astrophysical Interest: New ^{17}O+α Reaction Rates and Impact on the Weak s Process. (2024)
Journal Article
Hammache, F., Adsley, P., Lamia, L., Harrouz, D. S., de Séréville, N., Bastin, B., …Wirth, H.-F. (2024). Experimental Determination of α Widths of ^{21}Ne Levels in the Region of Astrophysical Interest: New ^{17}O+α Reaction Rates and Impact on the Weak s Process. Physical Review Letters, 132(18), Article 182701. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.182701

The efficiency of the weak s process in low-metallicity rotating massive stars depends strongly on the rates of the competing ^{17}O(α,n)^{20}Ne and ^{17}O(α,γ)^{21}Ne reactions that determine the potency of the ^{16}O neutron poison. Their reaction... Read More about Experimental Determination of α Widths of ^{21}Ne Levels in the Region of Astrophysical Interest: New ^{17}O+α Reaction Rates and Impact on the Weak s Process..

Rediscussion of eclipsing binaries. Paper XVII. The F-type twin system CW Eridani (2024)
Journal Article
Overall, S., & Southworth, J. (2024). Rediscussion of eclipsing binaries. Paper XVII. The F-type twin system CW Eridani. Observatory, 144(1299),

CW Eri is a detached eclipsing binary system of two F-type stars with an orbital period of 2728 d. Light-curves from two sectors of observations with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and previously published radial-velocity data are a...

Discovery of two warm mini-Neptunes with contrasting densities orbiting the young K3V star TOI-815 (2024)
Journal Article
Psaridi, A., Osborn, H., Bouchy, F., Lendl, M., Parc, L., Billot, N., …West, R. G. (2024). Discovery of two warm mini-Neptunes with contrasting densities orbiting the young K3V star TOI-815. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 685, Article A5. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202348678

We present the discovery and characterization of two warm mini-Neptunes transiting the K-V star TOI-815 in a K-M binary system. Analysis of its spectra and rotation period reveal the star to be young, with an age of 200(-200)(+400) Myr. TOI-815b has...
