Disc-Magnetosphere interactions in Cataclysmic Variable Stars (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). Disc-Magnetosphere interactions in Cataclysmic Variable Stars. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921307009684

I review, from an observational perspective, the interactions of accretion discs with magnetic fields in cataclysmic variable stars. I start with systems where the accretion flows via a stream, and discuss the circumstances in which the stream forms... Read More about Disc-Magnetosphere interactions in Cataclysmic Variable Stars.

Developments in physics of massive stars (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Meynet, G., Ekström, S., Maeder, A., Hirschi, R., Georgy, C., & Beffa, C. Developments in physics of massive stars. Presented at Symposium S250: Massive Stars as Cosmic Engines

New constraints on stellar models are provided by large surveys of massive stars, interferometric observations and asteroseismology. After a review of the main results so far obtained, we present new results from rotating models and discuss compariso... Read More about Developments in physics of massive stars.

The ultra-compact binary candidate KUV 23182+1007 is a bright quasar (2007)
Journal Article
Southworth, J., Schwope, A., Gaensicke, B., & Schreiber, M. (2007). The ultra-compact binary candidate KUV 23182+1007 is a bright quasar. arXiv,

KUV 23182+1007 was identified as a blue object in the Kiso UV Survey in the 1980s. Classification-dispersion spectroscopy showed a featureless continuum except for a strong emission line in the region of He II 4686 A. This is a hallmark of the rare A...

A new AMS facility in Caserta/Italy (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). A new AMS facility in Caserta/Italy. Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 14 -17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nimb.2007.01.139

A new AMS system has been installed at Center for Isotopic Research on Cultural and Environmental Heritage (CIRCE) in Caserta/Italy. It was built by National Electrostatics Corp. Middleton, WI/USA, and arrived at CIRCE in the middle of January 2005;... Read More about A new AMS facility in Caserta/Italy.
