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…
MOA 2011-BLG-028Lb: a Neptune-mass Microlensing Planet in the Galactic Bulge
J. Skowron, A. Udalski, R. Poleski +35
We present the discovery of a Neptune-mass planet orbiting a 0.8 +- 0.3 M_Sun star in the Galactic bulge. The planet manifested itself during the microlensing event MOA 2011-BLG-02…
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…
Transits and starspots in the WASP-6 planetary system
Jeremy Tregloan-Reed, John Southworth, M. Burgdorf +27
We present updates to \textsc{prism}, a photometric transit-starspot model, and \textsc{gemc}, a hybrid optimisation code combining MCMC and a genetic algorithm. We then present hi…
