Timing variations in the secondary eclipse of NN Ser
S. G. Parsons, T. R. Marsh, M. C. P. Bours +6
The eclipsing white dwarf plus main-sequence binary NN Serpentis provides one of the most convincing cases for the existence of circumbinary planets around evolved binaries. The ex…
Optical transmission photometry of the highly inflated exoplanet WASP-17b
J. Bento, P. J. Wheatley, C. M. Copperwheat +7
We present ground-based high-precision observations of the transit of WASP-17b using the multi-band photometer ULTRACAM on ESO's NTT in the context of performing transmission spect…
The planets around NN Ser: still there
T. R. Marsh, S. G. Parsons, M. C. P. Bours +6
We present 25 new eclipse times of the white dwarf binary NN Ser taken with the high-speed camera ULTRACAM on the WHT and NTT, the RISE camera on the Liverpool Telescope, and HAWK-…
A magnetic white dwarf in a detached eclipsing binary
S. G. Parsons, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gänsicke +4
SDSS J030308.35+005444.1 is a close, detached, eclipsing white dwarf plus M dwarf binary which shows a large infrared excess which has been interpreted in terms of a circumbinary d…
The not-so-massive black hole in the microquasar GRS1915+105
D. Steeghs, J. E. McClintock, S. G. Parsons +3
We present a new dynamical study of the black hole X-ray transient GRS1915+105 making use of near-infrared spectroscopy obtained with X-shooter at the VLT. We detect a large number…
