The derived physical properties of the known transiting extrasolar planetary systems come from a variety of sources, and are calculated using a range of different methods so are not always directly comparable. I present a catalogue of the physical pr... Read More about Homogeneous studies of transiting planets.

Debris discs in the 27 Myr old open cluster IC4665 (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Debris discs in the 27 Myr old open cluster IC4665. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2186-2198. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17835.x

We present Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24um imaging of members of the 27+/-5Myr old open cluster IC 4665. Models for the assembly of terrestrial planets through planetesimal collisions and mergers predict episodic dust debris discs at this epoch. We determ...

Red Supergiants, Luminous Blue Variables and Wolf-Rayet stars: the single massive star perspective (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meynet, G., Georgy, C., Hirschi, R., Maeder, A., Massey, P., Przybilla, N., & Nieva, M.-F. Red Supergiants, Luminous Blue Variables and Wolf-Rayet stars: the single massive star perspective. Presented at Proceedings of the 39th Liege Astrophysical Colloquium, Liège, Belgium

We discuss, in the context of the single star scenario, the nature of the progenitors of Red Supergiants (RSG), of Luminous Blue Variables (LBV) and of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. These three different populations correspond to evolved phases of Main Sequ... Read More about Red Supergiants, Luminous Blue Variables and Wolf-Rayet stars: the single massive star perspective.
