Smith, Nathan, Miller, Adam A., Li, Weidong, Filippenko, Alexei V., Silverman, Jeffrey M., Howard, Andrew W., ...
We present progenitor star detections, light curves, and spectra of SN 2009ip and the 2009 optical transient in UGC 2773 (U2773-OT), which were not genuine supernovae (SNe). In particular, precursor...
Improved Standardization of Type II-P Supernovae: Application to an Expanded Sample (2008)
Poznanski, Dovi, Butler, Nathaniel, Filippenko, Alexei V., Ganeshalingam, Mohan, Li, Weidong, Bloom, Joshua S., ...
In the epoch of precise and accurate cosmology, cross-confirmation using a variety of cosmographic methods is paramount to circumvent systematic uncertainties. Owing to progenitor histories and...
The Monitor project: the search for transits in the open cluster NGC 2362 (2008)
Miller, Adam A., Irwin, Jonathan, Aigrain, Suzanne, Hodgkin, Simon, Hebb, Leslie
We present the results of a systematic search for transiting planets in a ~5 Myr open cluster, NGC 2362. We observed ~1200 candidate cluster members, of which ~475 are believed to be genuine cluster...

Quasar continuum fitting and silicon absorption on the low redshift intergalactic medium / (2006)
We present results on the evolution of Ly[alpha] absorption at low redshift, and the first systematic search for Si II absorption systems in the low redshift IGM. Our sample consists of 832 Ly[alpha]...
