HSTEP -- Homogeneous Studies of Transiting Extrasolar Planets (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Southworth, J. (2012). HSTEP -- Homogeneous Studies of Transiting Extrasolar Planets. . https://doi.org/10.1017/S174392131301332X

I give a summary of the HSTEP project: an effort to calculate the physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planets using a homogeneous approach. I discuss the motivation for the project, list the 83 planets which have already been studi... Read More about HSTEP -- Homogeneous Studies of Transiting Extrasolar Planets.

Eclipsing Binary Stars: the Royal Road to Stellar Astrophysics (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Taylor. (2012). Eclipsing Binary Stars: the Royal Road to Stellar Astrophysics. In Proceedings of the workshop "Orbital Couples: Pas de Deux in the Solar System and the Milky Way" (51-58)

Russell (1948) famously described eclipses as the "royal road" to stellar astrophysics. From photometric and spectroscopic observations it is possible to measure the masses and radii (to 1% or better!), and thus surface gravities and mean densities,...

Face: Fractal Analysis in Cell Engineering (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Lam, K. P., Collins, D. J., & Richardson, J. B. (2013). Face: Fractal Analysis in Cell Engineering. In Innovations and Advances in Computer, Information, Systems Sciences, and Engineering (1151-1164). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-3535-8_95

Most fractal compression schemes encode an image as a collection of transforms that analyse image detail at every scale, typically allowing a receiver to regenerate or synthesize the output using “instructions” from the transmitter. Conceived in the... Read More about Face: Fractal Analysis in Cell Engineering.
