On multiple classes of gamma-ray bursts, as deduced from autocorrelation functions or bivariate duration/hardness ratio distributions
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of 119 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) monitored by the Burst
Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift are calculated. Contrasting with previous results for smaller
numbers of bursts from other missions, ...
Estimation of the coherence time of stochastic oscillations from modest samples
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
‘Quasi-periodic’ or ‘solar-like’ oscillations can be described by three parameters – a characteristic
frequency, a coherence time (or ‘quality factor’) and the variance of the random
driving process. This paper is concerned ...
The Edinburgh-Cape Blue Object Survey - III. Zone 2; galactic latitudes -30? > b > -40?
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
The Edinburgh–Cape Blue Object Survey seeks to identify point sources with an ultraviolet
excess. Results for zone 2 of the survey are presented here, covering that part of the South
Galactic Cap between 30◦ and 40◦ from ...
More on the nature of the variable star UNSW-V-760
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
The results of two multicolour time-series photometric observing runs, separated by about two
months, are presented. The same periodicities previously detected in photometry of UNSWV-
760 are still present, albeit at ...
Predicting gamma-ray burster redshifts from their prompt emission properties
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
This paper presents a study of the relation between gamma-ray burster redshift and several
of its prompt emission properties (spectral lag, light curve variability, peak energy, rise time
and the peak bolometric flux ...
Two new variable sdB stars, HE 0218−3437 and LB 1516
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
We present photometry which shows that two known hot subdwarf stars, HE 0218−3437 and
LB 1516, are variable. LB 1516 exhibits several frequencies in the range 12–25 cycles d−1
(periods of about 1–2 h) with amplitudes ...
Detection of an increasing orbital period in the subdwarf B eclipsing system NSVS 14256825
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
New timings of eclipses made in 2010 and 2011 are presented for the hot subdwarf B (sdB)
eclipsing binary NSVS 14256825. Composed of an sdB star and a much cooler companion,
with a period near 0.1104 days, this system ...
UBV(RI)C JHK observations of Hipparcos-selected nearby stars
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
We present homogeneous, standardized UBV(RI)C photometry for over 700 nearby stars
selected on the basis of Hipparcos parallaxes. Additionally, we list JHK photometry for about
half of these stars, as well as L photometry ...
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 ...
Two large amplitude slowly pulsating hot subdwarf stars
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
The discovery observations of two new slowly pulsating subdwarf B stars (V1093 Her stars),
BPS CS22890−74 and PB 7032, are presented. Both stars are highly multiperiodic, and have –
for V1093 Her stars – large amplitudes. ...
