Multicolour time series photometry of the T Tauri star CVSO 30
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
Five consecutive runs of at least five hours, and two shorter runs, of V(RI)C time series
photometry of CVSO 30 are presented. No evidence could be seen for planetary transits,
previously claimed in the literature for ...
A search for p-mode pulsations in white dwarf stars using the Berkeley Visible Imaging Tube detector
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
We present high-speed photometry (resolution 0.1 s) obtained during the commissioning of the
Berkely Visible Imaging Tube system on the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). The
observations were an attempt to search ...
The analysis of indexed astronomical time series – XII. The statistics of oversampled Fourier spectra of noise plus a single sinusoid
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
With few exceptions, theoretical studies of periodogram properties focus on pure noise time
series. This paper considers the case in which the time series consists of noise together with a
single sinusoid, observed at ...
The orbital periods of aa dor and ny vir
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
New timings of eclipses made between 2000 and 2010 are presented for two binary systems
with hot subdwarf primary stars. In the case of AA Dor, an sdOB star with a very cool
secondary, the period is found to be constant ...
Dark energy homogeneity in general relativity: Are we applying it correctly?
(Springer, 2016)
Thus far, there does not appear to be an agreed (or adequate) definition of
homogeneous dark energy (DE). This paper seeks to define a valid, adequate homogeneity
condition for DE. Firstly, it is shown that as long as ...
Clustering of HI galaxies in the HI parkes all sky survey and arecibo legacy fast alfa survey
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
We investigate the clustering of H I-selected galaxies in the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA
Survey (ALFALFA) and compare results with those obtained for the H I Parkes All Sky
Survey (HIPASS). Measurements of the angular ...
Disentangling non-gaussianity, bias, and general relativistic effects in the galaxy distribution
(American Physical Society, 2012)
Local non-Gaussianity, parametrized by
f
NL
, introduces a scale-dependent bias that is strongest at large scales, precisely where general relativistic (GR) effects also become significant. With future data, it should ...
Reconstruction of dark energy and expansion dynamics using Gaussian processes
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
An important issue in cosmology is reconstructing the effective dark energy equation
of state directly from observations. With few physically motivated models, future dark
energy studies cannot only be based on constraining ...
Nonlinear galactic dynamos and the magnetic pitch angle
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
Pitch angles p of the large-scale magnetic fields B of spiral galaxies have previously been inferred from
observations to be systematically larger in magnitude than predicted by standard mean-field dynamo theory. ...
Intrinsic scatter of caustic masses and hydrostatic bias: An observational study
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
All estimates of cluster mass have some intrinsic scatter and perhaps some bias with true mass even in the absence of measurement
errors for example caused by cluster triaxiality and large scale structure. Knowledge of ...
