Pulsation versus metallicism in Am stars as revealed by LAMOST and WASP (2016)
Journal Article
Smalley, B., Antoci, V., L. Holdsworth, D., W. Kurtz, D., J. Murphy, S., De Cat, P., …J. Wheatley, P. (2017). Pulsation versus metallicism in Am stars as revealed by LAMOST and WASP. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 465(3), 2662-2670. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw2903

We present the results of a study of a large sample of A and Am stars with spectral types from LAMOST and light curves from WASP. We find that, unlike normal A stars, d Sct pulsations in Am stars are mostly confined to the effective temperature range...

ELLC - a fast, flexible light curve model for detached eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanets (2016)
Journal Article

Very high quality light curves are now available for thousands of detached eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanet systems as a result of surveys for transiting exoplanets and other large-scale photometric surveys. I have developed a binary s... Read More about ELLC - a fast, flexible light curve model for detached eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanets.

WASP-121 b: a hot Jupiter close to tidal disruption transiting an active F star (2016)
Journal Article
Hellier, Smalley, & Maxted. (2016). WASP-121 b: a hot Jupiter close to tidal disruption transiting an active F star. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 4025 - 4043. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw522

We present the discovery by the WASP-South survey of WASP-121 b, a new remarkable short-period transiting hot Jupiter. The planet has a mass of 1.183+0.064-0.062MJup, a radius of 1.865 ± 0.044 RJup, and transits every 1.2749255+0.0000020-0.0000025 da...
