    An ellipsoidal modulation in X-ray Nova VELA 1993 (=GRS 1009-45)
    We present the first optical observations of the soft X-ray transient Nova Vela 1993, taken during quiescence in 1995 and 1996. From the R-band photometry with...

    An Ellipsoidal Study of Centaurus-X-4
    We present the first infrared ellipsoidal study of a low-mass X-ray binary system, and hence measure the mass of the neutron star. Photometry of Cen X-4...

    An enhanced slope in the transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-104b
    We present the optical transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-104b based on one transit observed by the blue and red channels of the Double Spectrograph...

    An enquiry on the origins of N-rich stars in the inner Galaxy based on APOGEE chemical compositions
    Recent evidence based on APOGEE data for stars within a few kpc of the Galactic Centre suggests that dissolved globular clusters (GCs) contribute significantly...

    An equatorial outflow in the black hole optical dipper Swift J1357.2-0933
    We present high time resolution optical spectroscopy and imaging of the black hole transient Swift J1357.2-0933 during its 2017 outburst. The light curves show...

    An ever-present Gaia snail shell triggered by a dark matter wake
    We utilize a novel numerical technique to model star formation in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation - called SUPERSTARS - to simulate a Milky Way...

    An excess of damped Lyman α galaxies near quasi-stellar objects
    We present a sample of 33 damped Lyman α systems (DLAs) discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) whose absorption redshifts (zabs) are within 6000 km s...

    An excess of very bright stars in the inner bulge
    From an analysis of the stars remaining in central regions of the Galaxy after subtracting those belonging to the disc and the bulge, we deduce that the inner...

    An extension of the MILES library with derived T<SUB>eff</SUB>, log g, [Fe/H], and [α/Fe]
    Extragalactic astronomy and stellar astrophysics are intrinsically related. In fact, the determination of important galaxy properties such as stellar masses...
