Discovery of Five Very Low Mass Close Binaries, Resolved in the Visible with Lucky Imaging

N. M. Law, S. T. Hodgkin, C. D. Mackay

We survey a sample of 32 M5-M8 stars with distance < 40pc for companions with separations between 0.1 arcsec and 1.5 arcsec and with Delta m_i <5. We find five new VLM binaries wit…

Photon counting strategies with low light level CCDs

A. G. Basden, C. A. Haniff, C. D. Mackay

Low light level charge coupled devices (L3CCDs) have recently been developed, incorporating on-chip gain. They may be operated to give an effective readout noise much less than one…

HST polarization map of the ultraviolet emission from the outer jet in M87 and a comparison with the 2cm radio emission

R. C. Thomson, D. R. T. Robinson, N. R. Tanvir +2

We present the first high resolution polarization map of the ultraviolet emission from the outer jet in M87. The data were obtained by the Faint Object Camera (FOC) on the Hubble S…
