A tale of two GRB-SNe at a common redshift of z=0.54
We present ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope optical observations of the optical transients (OTs) of long-duration Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) 060729 and...
A targeted search for binary white dwarf pulsars using Gaia and WISE
After its discovery in 2016, the white dwarf binary AR Scorpii (AR Sco) remained for several years the only white dwarf system to show pulsed radio emission...
Main Belt Comets (MBCs) exhibit sublimation-driven activity while occupying asteroid-like orbits in the Main Asteroid Belt. MBCs and candidates show stronger...
A targeted search for strongly lensed supernovae with the Las Cumbres Observatory
Gravitationally lensed supernovae (glSNe) are of interest for time delay cosmology and SN physics. However, glSNe detections are rare, owing to the intrinsic...
A Technique for Separating the Gravitational Torques of Bars and Spirals in Disk Galaxies
We describe a Fourier-based method of separating bars from spirals in near-infrared images. The method takes advantage of the fact that a bar is typically a...
A temperate Earth-sized planet with tidal heating transiting an M6 star
Temperate Earth-sized exoplanets around late-M dwarfs offer a rare opportunity to explore under which conditions planets can develop hospitable climate...
A temperate exo-Earth around a quiet M dwarf at 3.4 parsec
The combination of high-contrast imaging and high-dispersion spectroscopy, which has successfully been use to detect the atmosphere of a giant planet, is one of...
A temperate rocky super-Earth transiting a nearby cool star
M dwarf stars, which have masses less than 60 per cent that of the Sun, make up 75 per cent of the population of the stars in the Galaxy. The atmospheres of...
A temperature inversion with atomic iron in the ultra-hot dayside atmosphere of WASP-189b
Temperature inversion layers are predicted to be present in ultra-hot giant planet atmospheres. Although such inversion layers have recently been observed in...
