Determining stellar macroturbulence using asteroseismic rotational velocities from Kepler (2014)
Journal Article
Smalley. (2014). Determining stellar macroturbulence using asteroseismic rotational velocities from Kepler. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 3592 -3602. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1692

The Rossiter–McLaughlin effect observed for transiting exoplanets often requires prior knowledge of the stellar projected equatorial rotational velocity (v?sin?i). This is usually provided by measuring the broadening of spectral lines, however this m... Read More about Determining stellar macroturbulence using asteroseismic rotational velocities from Kepler.

WASP-104b and WASP-106b: two transiting hot Jupiters in 1.75-day and 9.3-day orbits (2014)
Journal Article
Smalley, & Maxted. (2014). WASP-104b and WASP-106b: two transiting hot Jupiters in 1.75-day and 9.3-day orbits. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201424752

We have used the WASP survey to discover two exoplanetary systems, each consisting of a Jupiter-sized planet transiting an 11th-magnitude (V) main-sequence star. WASP-104b orbits its star in 1.75 d, whereas WASP-106b has the fourth-longest orbital pe... Read More about WASP-104b and WASP-106b: two transiting hot Jupiters in 1.75-day and 9.3-day orbits.

Colour-magnitude diagrams of transiting Exoplanets - II. A larger sample from photometric distances (2014)
Journal Article
Triaud, A. H., Lanotte, A. A., Smalley, B., & Gillon, M. (2014). Colour-magnitude diagrams of transiting Exoplanets - II. A larger sample from photometric distances. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 444(1), 711 -728. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1416

Colour–magnitude diagrams form a traditional way of presenting luminous objects in the Universe and compare them to each other. Here, we estimate the photometric distance of 44 transiting exoplanetary systems. Parallaxes for seven systems confirm our... Read More about Colour-magnitude diagrams of transiting Exoplanets - II.

Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 mu m full-orbit light curves of WASP-18 (2012)
Journal Article
Maxted, P., Anderson, D. R., Doyle, A. P., Gillon, M., Harrington, J., Iro, N., Jehin, E., Lafreniere, D., Smalley, B., & Southworth, J. (2013). Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 mu m full-orbit light curves of WASP-18. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 428(3), 2645-2660. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sts231

We present new lightcurves of the massive hot Jupiter system WASP-18 obtained with the Spitzer spacecraft covering the entire orbit at 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron. These lightcurves are used to measure the amplitude, shape and phase of the thermal phas... Read More about Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 mu m full-orbit light curves of WASP-18.

Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ashwell, J., F. Ashwell, J., Jeffries, R., D. Jeffries, R., & Smalley, B. (2005, July). Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region. Paper presented at International Workshop on ATLAS12 and Related Codes: Application to Elemental Abundance Determination, Trieste, Italy

The Beryllium spectral region of the Sun, Procyon and 4 stars in the open cluster NGC6633 up to Teff = 7500K have been synthesised using ATLAS9 model atmospheres and the MOOG spectral synthesis program. The line list used for these syntheses has bee... Read More about Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region.
