Many new variable stars discovered in the core of the globular cluster NGC 6715 (M54) with EMCCD observations
R. Figuera Jaimes, D. M. Bramich, N. Kains +38
We show the benefits of using Electron-Multiplying CCDs and the shift-and-add technique as a tool to minimise the effects of the atmospheric turbulence such as blending between sta…
Exploring the crowded central region of 10 Galactic globular clusters using EMCCDs. Variable star searches and new discoveries
R. Figuera Jaimes, D. M. Bramich, J. Skottfelt +31
Obtain time-series photometry of the very crowded central regions of Galactic globular clusters with better angular resolution than previously achieved with conventional CCDs on gr…
Physical properties of the planetary systems WASP-45 and WASP-46 from simultaneous multi-band photometry
S. Ciceri, L. Mancini, J. Southworth +45
Accurate measurements of the physical characteristics of a large number of exoplanets are useful to strongly constrain theoretical models of planet formation and evolution, which l…
Red noise versus planetary interpretations in the microlensing event OGLE-2013-BLG-446
E. Bachelet, D. M. Bramich, C. Han +98
For all exoplanet candidates, the reliability of a claimed detection needs to be assessed through a careful study of systematic errors in the data to minimize the false positives r…
Rotation periods and astrometric motions of the Luhman 16AB brown dwarfs by high-resolution lucky-imaging monitoring
L. Mancini, P. Giacobbe, S. P. Littlefair +33
Context. Photometric monitoring of the variability of brown dwarfs can provide useful information about the structure of clouds in their cold atmospheres. The brown-dwarf binary sy…
A Census of Variability in Globular Cluster M68 (NGC 4590)
N. Kains, A. Arellano Ferro, R. Figuera Jaimes +32
We analyse 20 nights of CCD observations in the V and I bands of the globular cluster M68 (NGC 4590), using these to detect variable objects. We also obtained electron-multiplying…
Spitzer Space Telescope Measurements of Dust Reverberation Lags in the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 6418
Billy Vazquez, Pasquale Galianni, Michael Richmond +22
We present results from a fifteen-month campaign of high-cadence (~ 3 days) mid-infrared Spitzer and optical (B and V ) monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 6418, with the object…
Searching for variable stars in the cores of five metal rich globular clusters using EMCCD observations
Jesper Skottfelt, D. M. Bramich, R. Figuera Jaimes +31
In this paper, we present the analysis of time-series observations from 2013 and 2014 of five metal rich ([Fe/H] -1) globular clusters: NGC~6388, NGC~6441, NGC~6528, NGC~6638,…
High-precision photometry by telescope defocussing. VI. WASP-24, WASP-25 and WASP-26
John Southworth, T. C. Hinse, M. Burgdorf +55
We present time-series photometric observations of thirteen transits in the planetary systems WASP-24, WASP-25 and WASP-26. All three systems have orbital obliquity measurements, W…
Physical properties of the WASP-67 planetary system from multi-colour photometry
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, S. Ciceri +29
The extrasolar planet WASP-67 b is the first hot Jupiter definitively known to undergo only partial eclipses. The lack of the second and third contact point in this planetary syste…
Physical properties and transmission spectrum of the WASP-80 planetary system from multi-colour photometry
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, S. Ciceri +29
WASP-80 is one of only two systems known to contain a hot Jupiter which transits its M-dwarf host star. We present eight light curves of one transit event, obtained simultaneously…
A test of the failed disk wind scenario for the origin of the broad line region in active galactic nuclei
Pasquale Galianni, Keith Horne
It has been recently proposed that the broad line region in active galactic nuclei originates from dusty clouds driven from the accretion disk by radiation pressure, at a distance…
Testing quasilinear modified Newtonian dynamics in the Solar System
Pasquale Galianni, Martin Feix, Hongsheng Zhao +1
A unique signature of the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) paradigm is its peculiar behavior in the vicinity of the points where the total Newtonian acceleration exactly cancels.…
VLT Observations of NGC 1097's "dog-leg" tidal stream
Pasquale Galianni, Ferdinando Patat, James L. Higdon +2
CONTEXT: Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies and tidal streams. AIMS: We investigate the structure and stellar population of two large stellar condensations (knots A & B) along one of the fa…
The Discovery of a High Redshift X-ray Emitting QSO Very Close to the Nucleus of NGC 7319
Pasquale Galianni, E. M. Burbidge, H. Arp +3
A strong X-ray source only 8" from the nucleus of the Sy2 galaxy NGC 7319 in Stephan's Quintet has been discovered by Chandra. We have identified the optical counterpart and show i…
