Confirmation of exoplanet candidates in the Wide-Angle Search for Planets survey via Doppler tomography (2020)
Thesis
Temple, L. Y. (2020). Confirmation of exoplanet candidates in the Wide-Angle Search for Planets survey via Doppler tomography. (Thesis). Keele University

This work reports the discovery of four new exoplanets, with host stars in the relatively sparse spectral type range mid-F–A. The planets were discovered using the transit method and confirmed via Doppler tomography. The first is WASP-167b/KELT-13b,...

Follow-up observations and characterisation of transiting hot Jupiter exoplanets (2019)
Thesis
Clark, B. J. M. (2019). Follow-up observations and characterisation of transiting hot Jupiter exoplanets. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/413092

The discovery of the first hot Jupiter exoplanet more than twenty years ago raised many questions. Such large, hot planets were not predicted to exist so close to their host star. Since then, more than 125 hot Jupiters have been discovered (to date),... Read More about Follow-up observations and characterisation of transiting hot Jupiter exoplanets.

Characterization of transiting exoplanets and their host stars by K2 (2018)
Thesis
Močnik, T. (2018). Characterization of transiting exoplanets and their host stars by K2. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/412317

The WASP project has discovered many transiting gas giant exoplanets. Some of these exoplanet systems have been observed by the K2 space-based telescope. The much higher photometric precision, shorter cadence and extended continuous follow-up observa... Read More about Characterization of transiting exoplanets and their host stars by K2.
