PublicationThe disc-jet coupling in the neutron star X-ray binary Aquila X-1
We study the accretion/ejection processes (i.e. disc/jet coupling) in the neutron star X-ray binary Aquila X-1 via a multiwavelength approach. We use in the...

PublicationThe discovery of a very cool binary system
We report the discovery of a very cool d/sdL7+T7.5p common proper motion binary system, SDSS J1416+13AB, found by cross-matching the United Kingdom Infrared...

PublicationThe discovery of an M4+T8.5 binary system
We report the discovery of a T8.5 dwarf, which is a companion to the M4 dwarf Wolf 940. At a distance of 12.50+0.75-0.67 pc, the angular separation of 32 arcsec...

PublicationThe discovery of the most UV-Ly α luminous star-forming galaxy: a young, dust- and metal-poor starburst with QSO-like luminosities
We report the discovery of BOSS-EUVLG1 at z = 2.469, by far the most luminous, almost un-obscured star-forming galaxy known at any redshift. First classified as...

PublicationThe discrepancy between dynamical and stellar masses in massive compact galaxies traces non-homology
For many massive compact galaxies, their dynamical masses (Mdyn ∝ σ2re) are lower than their stellar masses (M⋆). We analyse the unphysical mass discrepancy M⋆...

PublicationThe distances of the Galactic novae
Utilizing the unique location of red clump giants on colour-magnitude diagrams obtained from various near-infrared surveys, we derived specific reddening...

PublicationThe distribution of atomic hydrogen in EAGLE galaxies: morphologies, profiles, and H I holes
We compare the mass and internal distribution of atomic hydrogen (H I) in 2200 present-day central galaxies with Mstar > 1010 M⊙ from the 100 Mpc EAGLE...

PublicationThe donor star radial velocity curve in the cataclysmic variable GY Cnc confirms white dwarf eclipse modelling mass
A large number of white dwarf and donor masses in cataclysmic variables have been found via modelling the primary eclipse, a method that relies on untested...
