The Gaia-ESO Survey: A globular cluster escapee in the Galactic halo (2015)
Journal Article

A small fraction of the halo field is made up of stars that share the light element (Z = 13) anomalies characteristic of second generation globular cluster (GC) stars. The ejected stars shed light on the formation of the Galactic halo by tracing the... Read More about The Gaia-ESO Survey: A globular cluster escapee in the Galactic halo.

WASP-20b and WASP-28b: a hot Saturn and a hot Jupiter in near-aligned orbits around solar-type stars (2015)
Journal Article

We report the discovery of the planets WASP-20b and WASP-28b along with measurements of their sky-projected orbital obliquities. WASP-20b is an inflated, Saturn-mass planet (0.31?MJup; 1.46?RJup) in a 4.9-day, near-aligned (? = 12.7 ± 4.2°) orbit aro...

Spots on Am stars (2015)
Journal Article

We investigate the light variations of 15 Am stars using four years of high-precision photometry from the Kepler spacecraft and an additional 14 Am stars from the K2 Campaign 0 field. We find that most of the Am stars in the Kepler field have light c... Read More about Spots on Am stars.

The well-aligned orbit of Wasp-84b: evidence for disk migration of a hot Jupiter (2015)
Journal Article

We report the sky-projected orbital obliquity (spin–orbit angle) of WASP-84 b, a 0.69${{M}_{{\rm Jup}}}$ planet in an 8.52 day orbit around a G9V/K0V star, to be ? = -0.3 ± 1.7°. We obtain a true obliquity of ? = 17.3 ± 7.7° from a measurement of the... Read More about The well-aligned orbit of Wasp-84b: evidence for disk migration of a hot Jupiter.

Probing the local bubble with diffuse interstellar abnds. II. The Dib properties in the northern hemisphere (2015)
Journal Article

We present a new high signal-to-noise ratio spectroscopic survey of the Northern hemisphere to probe the Local Bubble and its surroundings using the ?5780 Å and ?5797 Å diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs). We observed 432 sightlines to a distance of 20... Read More about Probing the local bubble with diffuse interstellar abnds. II. The Dib properties in the northern hemisphere.

Probing the local bubble with diffuse interstellar bands. III. The northern hemisphere data and catalog (2015)
Journal Article

We present new high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) observations of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in the Local Bubble and its surroundings. We observed 432 sightlines and obtain the equivalent widths of the ?5780 and ?5797 Å DIBs up to a distance... Read More about Probing the local bubble with diffuse interstellar bands. III. The northern hemisphere data and catalog.

An Improved Corrective Security Constrained OPF for Meshed AC/DC Grids With Multi-Terminal VSC-HVDC (2015)
Journal Article

This paper presents an improved corrective security constrained optimal power flow (CSCOPF) for a meshed AC/DC power transmission network with voltage source converter based multi-terminal HVDC (VSC-MTDC) grids. The security constrains of N-1 conting... Read More about An Improved Corrective Security Constrained OPF for Meshed AC/DC Grids With Multi-Terminal VSC-HVDC.

An infrared census of dust in nearby galaxies with Spitxer (Dustings). II. Discovery of metal-poor dusty AGB stars (2015)
Journal Article

The DUSTiNGS survey (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer) is a 3.6 and 4.5 µm imaging survey of 50 nearby dwarf galaxies designed to identify dust-producing asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and massive stars. Using two epochs, spaced approximatel... Read More about An infrared census of dust in nearby galaxies with Spitxer (Dustings). II. Discovery of metal-poor dusty AGB stars.

Characterizing K2 Planet Discoveries: A Super-earth Transiting The Bright K Dwarf HIP 116454 (2015)
Journal Article

We report the first planet discovery from the two-wheeled Kepler (K2) mission: HIP 116454 b. The host star HIP 116454 is a bright (V = 10.1, K = 8.0) K1 dwarf with high proper motion and a parallax-based distance of 55.2 ± 5.4 pc. Based on high-resol...

Neoliberalism, new public management and the sustainable development agenda of higher education: history, contradictions and synergies (2015)
Journal Article

This paper explores the ideological and the practical relationship between neoliberalism and New Public Management (NPM) and the sustainable development agenda of western higher education. Using the United Kingdom and specifically English universitie...
