Discovery and timing of 40 pulsars
We present the results of processing an additional 44 per cent of the High Time Resolution Universe South Low Latitude (HTRU-S LowLat) pulsar survey, the most sensitive blind... -
Disentangling cataclysmic variables in Gaia DR2
Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) are interacting binaries consisting of at least three components that control their colour and magnitude. Using Gaia we here investigate the... -
TOI-222: a 34-d eclipsing binary
We report the period, eccentricity, and mass determination for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) single-transit event candidate TOI-222, which displayed a single... -
Globular clusters in the inner Galaxy
Globular clusters (GCs) are the most ancient stellar systems in the Milky Way. Therefore, they play a key role in the understanding of the early chemical and dynamical evolution... -
Study of spiral density waves in CVs
Spiral density waves are thought to be excited in the accretion discs of accreting compact objects, including cataclysmic variable stars (CVs). Observational evidence has been... -
Correlations in unbound star trajectories
Scattering events with compact objects are expected in the primordial black hole (PBH) cold dark matter (CDM) scenario, due to close encounters between stars and PBHs in the... -
The Southern Stellar Stream Sp. Survey (S^5^)
We introduce the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopy Survey (S^5^), an on-going program to map the kinematics and chemistry of stellar streams in the southern hemisphere. The... -
Fastest stars in the Galaxy with Gaia DR2
We search for the fastest stars in the subset of stars with radial velocity measurements of the second data release (DR2) of the European Space Agency mission Gaia. Starting... -
Origin of stellar flares on M dwarfs using TESS
Detailed studies of the Sun have shown that sunspots and solar flares are closely correlated. Photometric data from Kepler/K2 has allowed similar studies to be carried out on... -
Masses and radii of Kepler and CoRoT targets
Recently, by analysing the oscillation frequencies of 90 stars, Yildiz, Celik Orhan & Kayhan have shown that the reference frequencies ({nu}min0, {nu}min1, and {nu}min2)... -
Debris discs in medium separation binaries
We compile a sample of 341 binary and multiple star systems with the aim of searching for and characterizing Kuiper belt-like debris discs. The sample is assembled by combining... -
Two new Galactic lithium-rich Cepheids
We report the discovery of two new lithium-rich Cepheids in the Milky Way (A(Li)~2.9dex) among the targets of the MAGIC spectroscopic survey with the Southern African Large... -
Gaia-DR2 distance to the W3 Complex
The Perseus Arm is the closest Galactic spiral arm from the Sun, offering an excellent opportunity to study in detail its stellar population. However, its distance has been... -
Distances and ages of 150 open clusters
We investigate a sample of open cluster candidates with no previous age determination using astrometric and photometric data from the Gaia DR2 catalogue. Using proper motions... -
Spiral structure as revealed by O and B stars
We investigate the morphology and kinematics of the Galactic spiral structure based on a new sample of O- and early B-type stars. We select 6858 highly confident OB star... -
BHB stars reveal halo's metal-rich progenitor
Using the data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Gaia satellite, we assemble a pure sample of ~3000 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars with 7D information, including... -
An all-sky view of the Orphan Stream
We use astrometry, broad-band photometry, and variability information from the Data Release 2 of ESA's Gaia mission (GDR2) to identify members of the Orphan Stream (OS) across... -
Age gradients throughout the Galaxy with LPVs
We assemble the largest sample of oxygen-rich (O-rich) Miras and associated long-period variables (LPVs) to date and highlight their importance for age dating the components of... -
Galactic GC mean proper motions & velocities
We have derived the mean proper motions and space velocities of 154 Galactic globular clusters and the velocity dispersion profiles of 141 globular clusters based on a... -
Chemo-kinematics from MARVELS
Combining stellar atmospheric parameters, such as effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity, with barycentric radial velocity data provides insight into the...
