The star formation history of the Magellanic Clouds derived from long-period variable star counts (2014)
Journal Article
Van Loon. (2014). The star formation history of the Magellanic Clouds derived from long-period variable star counts. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2214 -2222. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1807

We present the first reconstruction of the star formation history (SFH) of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) using Long Period Variable stars. These cool evolved stars reach their peak luminosity in the near-infrared; thus, their K-...

Aphra Behn’s The Roundheads (1st perf. 1681, pub. 1682) was produced during a propaganda battle between the Whigs and Tories and set during the Interregnum in order to draw parallels between parliamentary usurpation and the Whig plea for
“liberty an... Read More about "Jack Presbyter in His Proper Habit": subverting Whig rhetoric in Aphra Behn's The Roundheads (1682).

Repeated primary care consultations for non-specific physical symptoms in children in UK: a cohort study (2014)
