Modelling the behaviour of accretion flows in x-ray binaries (2007)
Journal Article
Done, C., Gierlinski, M., & Kubota, A. (2007). Modelling the behaviour of accretion flows in x-ray binaries. Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 15(1), 1-66. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00159-007-0006-1

We review how the recent increase in X-ray and radio data from black hole and neutron star binaries can be merged together with theoretical advances to give a coherent picture of the physics of the accretion flow in strong gravity. Both long term X-r... Read More about Modelling the behaviour of accretion flows in x-ray binaries.

A CFH12k lensing survey of X-ray luminous galaxy clusters II : weak lensing analysis and global correlations (2007)
Journal Article

Aims: We present a wide-field multi-color survey of a homogeneous sample of eleven clusters of galaxies for which we measure total masses and mass distributions from weak lensing. This sample, spanning a small range in both X-ray luminosity and redsh...

A Detailed Study of Gas and Star Formation in a Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07 (2007)
Journal Article

We report the detection of CO(3-2) emission from a bright, gravitationally lensed Lyman Break galaxy, LBG J213512.73-010143 (the "Cosmic Eye"), at z = 3.07, using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. This is only the second detection of molecular gas... Read More about A Detailed Study of Gas and Star Formation in a Highly Magnified Lyman Break Galaxy at z = 3.07.

Analysing the atolls: X-ray spectral transitions of accreting neutron stars. (2007)
Journal Article
Gladstone, J., Done, C., & Gierlinski, M. (2007). Analysing the atolls: X-ray spectral transitions of accreting neutron stars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 378(1), 13-22. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2007.11675.x

We systematically analyse all the available X-ray spectra of disc accreting neutron stars (atolls and millisecond pulsars) from the RXTE data base. We show that while all these have similar spectral evolution as a function of mass accretion rate, the...

We present the statistically complete and cosmologically most relevant subset of the 12 most distant galaxy clusters detected at z > 0.5 by the Massive Cluster Survey (MACS). Ten of these systems are new discoveries; only two (MACS J0018.5+1626, aka... Read More about A Complete Sample of 12 Very X-Ray Luminous Galaxy Clusters at z > 0.5..
