Journal Article
Smalley, B., B. Gardiner, R., Kupka, F., & S. Bessell, M. (2002). On the anomaly of Balmer line profiles of A-type stars. Fundamental binary systems. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 395(2), https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20021330

In previous work, Gardiner et al. (1999) found evidence for a discrepancy between the Teff obtained from Balmer lines with that from photometry and fundamental values for A-type stars. An investigation into this anomaly is presented using Balmer line... Read More about On the anomaly of Balmer line profiles of A-type stars. Fundamental binary systems.

No disks around low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the young sigma Orionis cluster? (2002)
Journal Article
Oliveira, J., Jeffries, R., Kenyon, M., Thompson, S., & Naylor, T. (2002). No disks around low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the young sigma Orionis cluster?. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20011778

We report on the analysis of 2MASS near-infrared data of a sample of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the sigma Orionis cluster. Youth and cluster membership have been spectroscopically confirmed using the Li I spectral line. We find little evidenc...

Stream-fed accretion in intermediate polars (2002)
Journal Article
(2002). Stream-fed accretion in intermediate polars. Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series,

I review the observational evidence for stream-fed accretion in intermediate polars. Recent work on the discless system V2400 Oph confirms the pole-flipping model of stream-fed accretion, but this applies only to a minority of the flow. The bulk of t...
