Observational detection of eight mutual eclipses and occultations between the satellites of Uranus (2009)

Christou, A. A., Lewis, F., Roche, P., Hashimoto, Y., O'Donoghue, D., Worters, H., ...

We carried out observations, with five different instruments ranging in aperture from 0.4m to 10m, of the satellites of Uranus during that planet's 2007 Equinox. Our observations covered specific...

A New Spectroscopic and Photometric Analysis of the Transiting Planet Systems TrES-3 and TrES-4 (2008)

Sozzetti, A., Torres, G., Charbonneau, D., Winn, J. N., Korzennik, S. G., Holman, M. J., ...

We report new spectroscopic and photometric observations of the parent stars of the recently discovered transiting planets TrES-3 and TrES-4. A detailed abundance analysis based on high-resolution...

The University of New South Wales Extrasolar Planet Search: a catalogue of variable stars from fields observed 2004--2007 (2008)

Christiansen, J. L., Derekas, A., Kiss, L. L., Ashley, M. C. B., Curran, S. J., Hamacher, D. W., ...

We present a new catalogue of variable stars compiled from data taken for the University of New South Wales Extrasolar Planet Search. From 2004 October to 2007 May, 25 target fields were each...

An observation of a mutual event between two satellites of Uranus (2007)

Hidas, M. G., Christou, A. A., Brown, T. M.

We present observations of the occultation of Umbriel by Oberon on 4 May, 2007. We believe this is the first observed mutual event between satellites of Uranus. Fitting a simple geometric model to...

The first high-amplitude delta Scuti star in an eclipsing binary system (2007)

Christiansen, J. L., Derekas, A., Ashley, M. C. B., Webb, J. K., Hidas, M. G., Hamacher, D. W., ...

We report the discovery of the first high-amplitude delta Scuti star in an eclipsing binary, which we have designated UNSW-V-500. The system is an Algol-type semi-detached eclipsing binary of maximum...

A new detached K7 dwarf eclipsing binary system (2007)

Young, T. B., Hidas, M. G., Webb, J. K., Ashley, M. C. B., Christiansen, J. L., Derekas, A., ...

We present an analysis of a new, detached, double-lined eclipsing binary system with K7 Ve components, discovered as part of the University of New South Wales Extrasolar Planet Search. The object is...

A Search for Propylene Oxide and Glycine in Sagittarius B2 (LMH) and Orion (2007)

Cunningham, M. R., Jones, P. A., Godfrey, P. D., Cragg, D. M., Bains, I., Burton, M. G., ...

We have used the Mopra Telescope to search for glycine and the simple chiral molecule propylene oxide in the Sgr B2 (LMH) and Orion KL, in the 3-mm band. We have not detected either species, but have...

A CH3CN and HCO+ survey towards southern methanol masers associated with star formation (2005)

Purcell, C. R., Balasubramanyam, R., Burton, M. G., Walsh, A. J., Minier, V., Hunt-Cunningham, M. R., ...

We present the initial results of a 3-mm spectral line survey towards 83 methanol maser selected massive star-forming regions. Here we report observations of the J=5-4 and 6-5 rotational transitions...

The UNSW Extrasolar Planet Search: Methods and First Results from a Field Centred on NGC 6633 (2005)

Hidas, M. G., Ashley, M. C. B., Webb, J. K., Irwin, M., Phillips, A., Toyozumi, H., ...

We report on the current status of the University of New South Wales Extrasolar Planet Search project, giving details of the methods we use to obtain millimagnitude precision photometry using the...

Science Programs for a 2 m-class Telescope at Dome C, Antarctica: PILOT, the Pathfinder for an International Large Optical Telescope (2004)

Burton, M. G., Lawrence, J., Ashley, M. C. B., Bailey, J. A., Blake, C., Bedding, T. R., ...

The cold, dry and stable air above the summits of the Antarctic plateau provides the best ground-based observing conditions from optical to sub-mm wavelengths to be found on the Earth. PILOT is a...

An Automated Search for Extrasolar Planet Transits (2002)

Hidas, M. G., Webb, J. K., Ashley, M. C. B., Lineweaver, C. H., Anderson, J., Irwin, M.

We are setting up a new search for transiting extrasolar planets using the 0.5m Automated Patrol Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia. We will begin regular observations in September...

Scientific Frontiers in Research on Extrasolar Planets (2002)

Asp Conference Series, M. G. Hidas, J. K. Webb, C. H. Lineweaver, J. Anderson, ...

We are setting up a new search for transiting extra-solar planets using the 0.5m Automated Patrol Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia. We will begin regular observations in September...
