Characterising Exoplanet Atmospheres with High-Resolution Transmission Spectroscopy
Over 5000 exoplanets have been discovered in the last three decades, revealing a truly diverse population of worlds beyond our solar system. The field has accelerated rapidly towards characterising the atmospheres of ... -
On the evolution of gaseous haloes in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation
The study of gaseous haloes holds the key to understanding gas flows in and out of galaxies, which in turn determines how galaxies form and evolve. However, recent observations have revealed them to be very complex, with ... -
Observational Insights into White Dwarf Planetary Systems
In recent decades the number of known planets has escalated from the eight solar system planets to over 5000 exoplanets; the focus has now shifted to their characterisation. Spectroscopic studies of white dwarfs ‘polluted’ ... -
Hierarchical Bayesian Spectro-temporal Models of Type Ia Supernovae in the Optical and Near-Infrared: Understanding the Properties of Dust in Supernova Host Galaxies
With the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope both on the horizon, Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) cosmology is about to undergo a paradigm shift. Whilst this new ...
