Data of the 1996 outburst of the single-known accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658, taken with the Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) on BeppoSAX, are revisited...
The first planet detected in the WTS: an inflated hot Jupiter in a 3.35 d orbit around a late F star
We report the discovery of WTS-1b, the first extrasolar planet found by the WFCAM Transit Survey, which began observations at the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared...
The First Polarimetric Signatures of Infrared Jets in X-Ray Binaries
We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries, Sco X-1, Cyg X-2, and GRS 1915+105. The slopes of the spectra are...
The First Post-Kepler Brightness Dips of KIC 8462852
We present a photometric detection of the first brightness dips of the unique variable star KIC 8462852 since the end of the Kepler space mission in 2013 May...
The First Precise Determination of an Optical-Far-Ultraviolet Extinction Curve Beyond the Local Group (z=0.83)
We present the optical-far-ultraviolet extinction curve of the dust in the lens galaxy of the gravitational lens system SBS 0909+532 (z=0.83). Extending our...
The first release of data from the Herschel ATLAS: the SPIRE images
We have reduced the data taken with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) photometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory in the Science...
The first sample of spectroscopically confirmed ultra-compact massive galaxies in the Kilo Degree Survey
We present results from an ongoing investigation using the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) to provide a census of ultra-compact...
The First Simultaneous X-Ray/Radio Detection of the First Be/BH System MWC 656
MWC 656 is the first known Be/black hole (BH) binary system. Be/BH binaries are important in the context of binary system evolution and sources of detectable...
The first spectroscopically identified L dwarf in Praesepe
We have obtained a low-resolution optical spectrum for one of the faintest cluster member candidates in Praesepe with the Optical System for Imaging and low...
