DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer (DUSTINGS): An Infrared Census of Extreme AGB Stars in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Boyer, M. L., McQuinn, K. . B. . W., Barmby, P., Bonanos, A. . Z., Gehrz, R. . D., Gordon, K. . D., …Zijlstra, A. . A. (2015). DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer (DUSTINGS): An Infrared Census of Extreme AGB Stars in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies. In 497, Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars III: A Closer Look in Space and Time

Nearby resolved dwarf galaxies provide excellent opportunities for studying the dust-producing late stages of stellar evolution. DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer) is a 3.6- and 4.5-μm imaging survey of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc....

Detecting Long Period Variables in M 33 Using UKIRT-WFCAM Images (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Saberi, M., Javadi, A., van Loon, J. T., & Khosroshahi, H. (2015). Detecting Long Period Variables in M 33 Using UKIRT-WFCAM Images. In Vol. 497 – Why Galaxies Care about AGB Stars III: A Closer Look in Space and Time (497)

We have used the UK InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) to conduct a near-IR monitoring campaign to search for variable stars in the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33. Most of the 4643 detected variables appear to be Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars.

HD183648: a Kepler eclipsing binary with anomalous ellipsoidal variations and a pulsating component (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Derekas, A., Borkovits, T., Fuller, J., Szabó, G., Pavlovski, K., Csák, B., …Jankovics, I. (2015). HD183648: a Kepler eclipsing binary with anomalous ellipsoidal variations and a pulsating component. In EPJ Web of Conferences. https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/201510106021

IC 8560861 (HD 183648) is a marginally eccentric (e = 0.05) eclipsing binary with an orbital period of Porb = 31.973 d, exhibiting mmag amplitude pulsations on time scales of a few days. We present the results of the complex analysis of high and medi... Read More about HD183648: a Kepler eclipsing binary with anomalous ellipsoidal variations and a pulsating component.

Multiple star systems observed with CoRoT and Kepler (invited review) (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Southworth, J. (2015). Multiple star systems observed with CoRoT and Kepler (invited review). . https://doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/201510104001

The CoRoT and Kepler satellites were the first space platforms designed to perform high-precision photometry for a large number of stars. Multiple systems display a wide variety of photometric variability, making them natural benefactors of these mis...

Young Stellar Objects in the Magellanic Clouds: Herschel Spectroscopy First Results (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Oliveira, J. M., van Loon, J. T., & Sewiło, M. (2015). Young Stellar Objects in the Magellanic Clouds: Herschel Spectroscopy First Results. . https://doi.org/10.1017/s1743921316008231

We present preliminary results from spectroscopy obtained with PACS and SPIRE onboard the Herschel Space Observatory of a sample of massive Young Stellar Objects in the Magellanic Clouds. We analyse key gas-phase cooling species (OI], [CII], H2O, CO,... Read More about Young Stellar Objects in the Magellanic Clouds: Herschel Spectroscopy First Results.

Variable Emission from a Gaseous Disc around a Metal-Polluted White Dwarf (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Wilson, D. J., Gaensicke, B. T., Koester, D., Raddi, R., Breedt, E., Southworth, J., & Parsons, S. G. (2015). Variable Emission from a Gaseous Disc around a Metal-Polluted White Dwarf. In Vol. 493 – 19th European Workshop on White Dwarfs

We present the discovery of a variable gaseous disc around the metal-polluted DA white dwarf SDSS J1617+1620. Time-series spectroscopy obtained during the period 2006-2014 has shown the appearance of very strong double-peaked Ca ii 8600Å emission lin...

DEBCat: A Catalog of Detached Eclipsing Binary Stars (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Southworth, J. (2015). DEBCat: A Catalog of Detached Eclipsing Binary Stars. In Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series

Detached eclipsing binary star systems are our primary source of measured physical properties of normal stars. I introduce DEBCat: a catalogue of detached eclipsing binaries with mass and radius measurements to the 2% precision necessary to put usefu...
