Time series models of three sets of RXTE Observations of 4U 1543-47
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
The X-ray nova 4U 1543−47 was in a different physical state (low/hard, high/soft, and very high) during the
acquisition of each of the three time series analyzed in this paper. Standard time series models of the ...
Multicolour time series photometry of three periodic ultracool dwarfs
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Photometry in I, or contemporaneously in I and R, of the known variable ultracool dwarfs
Kelu-1 and 2MASS J11553952−3727350 is presented. The nature of the variability of

A common problem in CCD photometry is to combine measurements obtained at different
epochs. This is especially challenging if the fields only overlap partially, and are sparse, so
that not all calibrating stars are ...
The Herschel* view of the environment of the radio galaxy 4C+41.17 at z = 3.8
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
We present Herschel observations at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 μm of the environment of the
radio galaxy 4C+41.17 at z = 3.792. About 65 per cent of the extracted sources are securely
identified with mid-infrared sources ...

Introduction: This paper will focus on MDG4, which is concerned with
reducing child mortality. Childhood mortality rates are the
leading indicator of the level of child health and overall
development of a country; and ...
