    The First L-Type Brown Dwarf in the Pleiades
    We have obtained low-resolution optical spectra of three faint brown dwarf candidates in the Pleiades open cluster. The objects observed are Roque 12 (I_C=18.5)...
  • Publication
    The first measurements of carbon isotopic ratios in post-RGB stars: SZ Mon and DF Cyg
    Dusty post-red giant branch (post-RGB) stars are low- and intermediate-mass stars where the RGB evolution was prematurely terminated by a poorly understood...
  • Publication
    The first near-infrared detection of XTEJ1118 + 480 in quiescence
    We report the first quiescent detection of KV UMa, the optical counterpart of XTEJ1118 + 480, in the near-infrared. The observed magnitudes and colours are...

    The first outburst of SAX J1808.4-3658 revisited
    Data of the 1996 outburst of the single-known accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658, taken with the Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) on BeppoSAX, are revisited...

    The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot Jupiter in a 3.35 d orbit around a late F star
    We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared...
  • Publication
    The First Polarimetric Signatures of Infrared Jets in X-Ray Binaries
    We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries, Sco X-1, Cyg X-2, and GRS 1915+105. The slopes of the spectra are...
  • Publication
    The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
    We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May...
  • Publication
    The First Precise Determination of an Optical-Far-Ultraviolet Extinction Curve Beyond the Local Group (z=0.83)
    We present the optical-far-ultraviolet extinction curve of the dust in the lens galaxy of the gravitational lens system SBS 0909+532 (z=0.83). Extending our...

    The first release of data from the Herschel ATLAS: the SPIRE images
    We have reduced the data taken with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) photometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory in the Science...
