Detached eclipsing binary star systems are our primary source of measured physical properties of normal stars. I introduce DEBCat: a catalog of detached eclipsing binaries with...

We present a 1.3mm continuum survey of the young (2-3Myr) stellar cluster IC 348 that lies at a distance of 310pc and is dominated by low-mass stars (M*~0.1-0.6M_{sun}). We...

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will provide high-precision time series photometry for millions of stars with at least a half-hour cadence. Of particular...

All observations of Galactic X-ray binaries are affected by absorption from gas and dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) which imprints narrow (line) and broad (photoelectric...

This paper uses observations of dusty debris discs, including a growing number of gas detections in these systems, to test our understanding of the origin and evolution of this...

We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12, which is the largest available white dwarf catalogue to date, to study the evolution of the kinematical properties of the...

W4 is a giant HII region ionized by the OB stars of the cluster IC 1805. The HII region/cluster complex has been a subject of numerous investigations as it is an excellent...

Deep optical photometric data on the NGC 7538 region were collected and combined with archival data sets from the Chandra, 2MASS and Spitzer surveys to generate a new catalogue...

The Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) sample of white dwarf parallaxes is presented, including six directly observed degenerates and 46 white dwarfs in wide binaries. This data set is...

We study the relation between stellar rotation and magnetic activity for a sample of 134 bright, nearby M dwarfs observed in the Kepler Two-Wheel (K2) mission during campaigns...

We build on a recent photometric decomposition analysis of 7506 Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey galaxies to derive stellar mass function fits to individual spheroid and...

We have extended our detailed survey of the local white dwarf population from 20 to 25pc, effectively doubling the sample volume, which now includes 232 stars. In the process,...

So-called scaling relations based on oscillation frequencies have the potential to reveal the mass and radius of solar-like oscillating stars. In the derivation of these...

We present a multiwavelength investigation of the young stellar population and star formation activities around the HII region Sharpless 311. Using our deep near-infrared...

We present SCUBA-2 450{mu}m and 850{mu}m observations of the W40 complex in the Serpens-Aquila region as part of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) Gould Belt Survey (GBS)...

We present a statistical study of all measurable photometric features of a large sample of dwarf novae during their outbursts and superoutbursts. We used all accessible...

We classified the reddest (r-J>2.2) stars observed by the NASA Kepler mission into main-sequence dwarf or evolved giant stars and determined the properties of 4216 M dwarfs...

Galactic nuclei typically host either a nuclear star cluster (NSC, prevalent in galaxies with masses <~10^10^M_{sun}) or a massive black hole (MBH, common in galaxies with...

We investigated the prospects for systematic searches of white dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes, using the VLT Survey Telescope H{alpha} Photometric Survey of the Galactic plane...

We have obtained membership probabilities of stars within a field of from the centre of the open cluster alpha Persei using proper motions and photometry from the PPMXL and...
