Ground-based multisite observations of two transits of HD 80606b
A. Shporer, J. N. Winn, S. Dreizler +41
We present ground-based optical observations of the September 2009 and January 2010 transits of HD 80606b. Based on 3 partial light curves of the September 2009 event, we derive a…
CFBDSIR 2149-0403: young isolated planetary-mass object or high-metallicity low-mass brown dwarf??
P. Delorme, T. Dupuy, J. Gagné +12
We conducted a multi-wavelength, multi-instrument observational characterisation of the candidate free-floating planet CFBDSIR~J214947.2-040308.9, a late T-dwarf with possible low-…
Multi-modal atmospheric characterization of Pictoris b: Adding high-resolution continuum spectra from GRAVITY
M. Ravet, M. Bonnefoy, G. Chauvin +24
We present the first VLTI/GRAVITY observations at R of Pic b. These four high S/N (20) K-band spectra conserve both the pseudo-continuum and molecular abso…
Benchtop magnetic shielding for benchmarking atomic magnetometers
P. J. Hobson, N. Holmes, P. Patel +14
Here, a benchtop hybrid magnetic shield containing four mumetal cylinders and nine internal flexible printed circuit boards is designed, constructed, tested, and operated. The shie…
GRB 240205B: A Reverse Shock Detected in Rapid Response Radio Observations
S. I. Chastain, G. E. Anderson, A. J. van der Horst +6
Here we present broadband radio modeling of GRB 240205B, using observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the South African MeerKAT radio telescope. Our obs…
Seventy six T dwarfs from the UKIDSS LAS: benchmarks, kinematics and an updated space density
Ben Burningham, C. V. Cardoso, L. Smith +34
We report the discovery of 76 new T dwarfs from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey (LAS). Near-infrared broad and narrow-band photometry and spectroscopy are presented for the new object…
GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels
Dimple, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +85
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a powerful window to probe the progenitor systems responsible for the formation of heavy elements through the rapid neutron capture (r-) process, than…
Additively manufactured ultra-high vacuum chamber below mbar
N. Cooper, L. A. Coles, S. Everton +11
Metal-based additive manufacturing (AM) represents a paradigm change in engineering and production methods across multiple industries and sectors. AM methods enable mass reduction…
The GJ 504 system revisited. Combining interferometric, radial velocity, and high contrast imaging data
M. Bonnefoy, K. Perraut, A. -M. Lagrange +79
The G-type star GJ504A is known to host a 3 to 35 MJup companion whose temperature, mass, and projected separation all contribute to make it a test case for the planet formation th…
The Brown-dwarf Atmosphere Monitoring (BAM) Project II: Multi-epoch monitoring of extremely cool brown dwarfs
A. Rajan, J. Patience, P. A. Wilson +6
With the discovery of Y dwarfs by the WISE mission, the population of field brown dwarfs now extends to objects with temperatures comparable to those of Solar System planets. To in…
Bi-planar magnetic stabilisation coils for an inertial sensor based on atom interferometry
A. Davis, P. J. Hobson, T. X. Smith +4
Inertial sensors that measure the acceleration of ultracold atoms promise unrivalled accuracy compared to classical equivalents. However, atomic systems are sensitive to various pe…
