Journal Article
Kenyon, M., Jeffries, R., Naylor, T., Oliveira, J., & Maxted, P. (2005). Membership, binarity and accretion among very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs of the s Orionis cluster. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 356(1), 89 -106. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.08455.x

Intermediate resolution (R=7000) spectroscopy is presented for 76 photometrically selected very low mass (0.04<M<0.3M_{sun}) candidate members of the Sigma Orionis cluster. More than two thirds appear to be genuine cluster members on the basis of Li...

The host galaxy of GRB010222: the strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known (2001)
Journal Article
Maxted, P. (2001). The host galaxy of GRB010222: the strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known

Analysis of the absorption lines in the afterglow spectrum of the gamma-ray burst GRB010222 indicates that its host galaxy (at a redshift of z=1.476) is the strongest damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) system known, having a very low metallicity and modest dus...

Emission from the secondary star in the old CV WZ Sge (2001)
Journal Article
Maxted. (2001). Emission from the secondary star in the old CV WZ Sge. Astrophysical Journal, 145-148. https://doi.org/10.1086/338107

We present the first detection of the mass donor star in the cataclysmic variable WZ Sge. Phase resolved spectroscopy reveals narrow Balmer emission components from the irradiated secondary star during the 2001 outburst. Its radial velocity curve ind...
