Precise stellar parameter measurements are crucial for improving our theoretical understanding of stellar structure. They help quantify model errors and uncertainties and provide vital constraints for interpreting observed phenomena, such as radius i...

Deciphering the atmospheric properties of hot gas giant exoplanets via ground-based transmission spectroscopy (2023)
Thesis
Spyratos, P. (2023). Deciphering the atmospheric properties of hot gas giant exoplanets via ground-based transmission spectroscopy. (Thesis). Keele University

Transiting hot gas giant exoplanets are great targets for atmospheric investigations due to their extended atmospheres and their strong obscuring effect on the observed starlight when they pass in front of their host star. Transmission spectroscopy c... Read More about Deciphering the atmospheric properties of hot gas giant exoplanets via ground-based transmission spectroscopy.

Detection and characterisation of stellar companions to transiting extrasolar planets through high resolution imaging (2019)

Since the discovery over two decades ago of the first `hot Jupiter', there has been persistent debate regarding the formation and origins of this class of planets. Some of the many `migration' theories for hot Jupiters suggest that these planets form...
