The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey II: Constructing a volume-limited sample and first results from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope
P. Scicluna, F. Kemper, I. McDonald +89
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) is a volume-complete sample of 850 Galactic evolved stars within 3\,kpc at (sub-)mm wavelengths, observed in the CO (21) and…
Ultraviolet Spectropolarimetry as a Tool for Understanding the Diversity of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
L. Fossati, L. Rossi, D. Stam +19
The polarization state of starlight reflected by a planetary atmosphere uniquely reveals coverage, particle size, and composition of aerosols as well as changing cloud patterns. It…
SuperWASP: Wide Angle Search for Planets
R. A. Street, D. L. Pollacco, A. Fitzsimmons +13
SuperWASP is a fully robotic, ultra-wide angle survey for planetary transits. Currently under construction, it will consist of 5 cameras, each monitoring a 9.5 x 9.5 deg field of v…
The Nearby Evolved Stars Survey (NESS) V: properties of volume-limited samples of Galactic evolved stars
I. McDonald, S. Srinivasan, P. Scicluna +23
We provide a meta-study of the statistical and individual properties of two volume-complete sets of evolved stars in the Solar Neighbourhood: (1) 852 stars from the Nearby Evolved…
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star [ERRATUM]
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +35
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in…
Echoes in X-ray Binaries
K. O'Brien, K. Horne, R. Hynes +3
We present a method of analysing the correlated X-ray and optical/UV variability in X-ray binaries, using the observed time delays between the X-ray driving lightcurves and their r…
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot-Jupiter in a 3.35 day orbit around a late F-star
M. Cappetta, R. P. Saglia, J. L. Birkby +36
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. Light cur…
