    Testing disc reprocessing models for AGN optical variability by comparison of X-ray and optical power spectra of NGC 4395
    It is generally thought that active galactic nucleus (AGN) optical variability is produced, at least in part, by reprocessing of central X-rays by a surrounding...

    Testing emission models on the extreme blazar 2WHSP J073326.7+515354 detected at very high energies with the MAGIC telescopes
    Extreme high-energy-peaked BL Lac objects (EHBLs) are an emerging class of blazars. Their typical two-hump-structured spectral energy distribution (SED) peaks...

    Testing models of stellar structure and evolution - I. Comparison with detached eclipsing binaries
    We present the results of an analysis aimed at testing the accuracy and precision of the PARSEC v1.2S library of stellar evolution models, combined with a...

    Testing the conditional mass function of dark matter haloes against numerical N-body simulations
    We compare the predicted conditional mass function (CMF) of dark matter haloes from two theoretical prescriptions against numerical N-body simulations, both in...

    Testing the existence of optical linear polarization in young brown dwarfs
    Linear polarization can be used as a probe of the existence of atmospheric condensates in ultracool dwarfs. Models predict that the observed linear polarization...

    Testing the fragmentation limit in the Upper Sco association
    We present the results of a deep (J˜ 21 at 5σ) infrared photometric survey of a 0.95-deg2 area in the central region of the Upper Sco association. The...

    Testing the role of AGN on the star formation and metal enrichment of 'twin galaxies'
    We explore the effect of AGN activity on the star formation history of galaxies by analysing the stellar population properties of 10 pairs of nearby twin...
  • Publication
    Testing the white dwarf mass-radius relationship with eclipsing binaries
    We present high-precision, model-independent, mass and radius measurements for 16 white dwarfs in detached eclipsing binaries and combine these with previously...
  • Publication
    Tests of model predictions for the responses of stellar spectra and absorption-line indices to element abundance variations
    A method that is widely used to analyse stellar populations in galaxies is to apply the theoretically derived responses of stellar spectra and line indices to...
