WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets (2016)
Journal Article
Smalley, Hellier, & Maxted. (2016). WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets. arXiv,

We report the discovery of two transiting planetary systems: a super dense, sub-Jupiter mass planet WASP-86b (Mpl = 0.82 ± 0.06 MJ; Rpl = 0.63 ± 0.01 RJ), and a bloated, Saturn-like planet WASP-102b (Mpl = 0.62 ± 0.04 MJ; Rpl = 1.27 ± 0.03 RJ). They... Read More about WASP-86b and WASP-102b: super-dense versus bloated planets.

Six newly-discovered hot Jupiters transiting F/G stars: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b & WASP-112b (2014)
Journal Article
Anderson, D., Brown, D., Collier Cameron, A., Delrez, L., Fumel, A., Gillon, M., …West, R. (2014). Six newly-discovered hot Jupiters transiting F/G stars: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b & WASP-112b. arXiv,

We present the discoveries of six transiting hot Jupiters: WASP-87b, WASP-108b, WASP-109b, WASP-110b, WASP-111b and WASP-112b. The planets have masses of 0.51--2.2 MJup and radii of 1.19--1.44 RJup and are in orbits of 1.68--3.78 d around stars with...

Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region (2005)
Journal Article
Ashwell, J., F. Ashwell, J., Jeffries, R., D. Jeffries, R., & Smalley, B. Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region. Manuscript submitted for publication

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.

Teff and log g Determinations (2005)
Journal Article
Smalley, B. Teff and log g Determinations. Manuscript submitted for publication

A discussion on the determination of effective temperature (Teff) and surface gravity (log g) is presented. The observational requirements for model-independent fundamental parameters are summarized, including an assessment of the accuracy of these v... Read More about Teff and log g Determinations.

WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune
Journal Article
Barkaoui, K., J. Pozuelos, F., Hellier, C., Smalley, B., D. Nielsen, L., Dorn, C., …G. West, R. WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune. arXiv,

Gas giants transiting bright nearby stars are stepping stones for our understanding of planetary system formation and evolution mechanisms. This paper presents a particularly interesting new specimen of this kind of exoplanet discovered by the WASP-S... Read More about WASP-193b: An extremely low-density super-Neptune.
