Uncooled Microbolometer Arrays for Ground Based Astronomy
Maisie F. Rashman, Iain A. Steele, Stuart D. Bates +2
We describe the design and commissioning of a simple prototype, low-cost 10m imaging instrument. The system is built using commercially available components including an uncoole…
Automated SpectroPhotometric Image REDuction (ASPIRED)
Marco C Lam, Robert J Smith, Iain A Steele
We aim to provide a suite of publicly available spectral data reduction software to facilitate rapid scientific outcomes from time-domain observations. For time resolved observatio…
Investigating the multiwavelength behaviour of the flat spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017
F. D'Ammando, C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata +94
We present a multiwavelength study of the flat-spectrum radio quasar CTA 102 during 2013-2017. We use radio-to-optical data obtained by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope, 15 GHz dat…
XMMSL2 J144605.0+685735 : a slow tidal disruption event
R. D. Saxton, A. M. Read, S. Komossa +6
Aims. We investigate the evolution of X-ray selected tidal disruption events. Methods. New events are found in near-real time data from XMM-Newton slews and are monitored by multi-…
The beamed jet and quasar core of the distant blazar 4C 71.07
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, M. I. Carnerero +5
The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the results of a two-yea…
A robotic pipeline for fast GRB followup with the Las Cumbres observatory network
R. Martone, C. Guidorzi, C. G. Mundell +9
In the era of multi-messenger astronomy the exploration of the early emission from transients is key for understanding the encoded physics. At the same time, current generation net…
The semicentennial binary system PSR J2032+4127 at periastron: X-ray photometry, optical spectroscopy and SPH modelling
M. J. Coe, A. T. Okazaki, I. A. Steele +7
X-ray photometry and optical spectra are presented covering the periastron passage of the highly-eccentric, ~50 year binary system PSR J2032+4127 in November 2017. This system cons…
Full orbital solution for the binary system in the northern Galactic disc microlensing event Gaia16aye
Łukasz Wyrzykowski, P. Mróz, K. A. Rybicki +182
Gaia16aye was a binary microlensing event discovered in the direction towards the northern Galactic disc and was one of the first microlensing events detected and alerted to by the…
