Overview of recent physics results from MAST (2016)
Journal Article
Kirk, A., Adamek, J., Akers, R., Allan, S., Appel, L., Arese Lucini, F., …Team, T. E. M. (2016). Overview of recent physics results from MAST. Nuclear Fusion, 57(10), Article 102007. https://doi.org/10.1088/1741-4326/aa65e0

New results from MAST are presented that focus on validating models in order to extrapolate to future devices. Measurements during start-up experiments have shown how the bulk ion temperature rise scales with the square of the reconnecting field. Dur...

Being WISE II: Reducing the Influence of Star formation History on the Mass-to-Light Ratio of Quiescent Galaxies (2016)
Journal Article
Norris, M., Van de Ven, G., Schinnerer, E., Crain, R., Meidt, S., Groves, B., …Theuns, T. (2016). Being WISE II: Reducing the Influence of Star formation History on the Mass-to-Light Ratio of Quiescent Galaxies. Astrophysical Journal, 832(2), Article 198. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/832/2/198

Stellar population synthesis models can now reproduce the photometry of old stellar systems (age > 2 Gyr) in the near-infrared (NIR) bands at 3.4 and 4.6μm (WISE W1 & W2 or IRAC 1 & 2). In this paper we derive stellar mass-to-light ratios for these a... Read More about Being WISE II: Reducing the Influence of Star formation History on the Mass-to-Light Ratio of Quiescent Galaxies.

Astrophysical Journal, 833(1), Article 6. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/833/1/6

We present a systematic search for periodically varying quasars and supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidates in the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) Medium Deep Survey's MD09 field. From a color-selected sample of 670 quasars extracted from a multi-band de...

We present sime0farcs4 resolution extinction-independent distributions of star formation and dust in 11 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at z = 1.3–3.0. These galaxies are selected from sensitive blank-field surveys of the 2' × 2' Hubble Ultra-Deep Field... Read More about VLA and ALMA Imaging of Intense Galaxy-wide Star Formation in z ~ 2 Galaxies.

Progress towards quantum-enhanced interferometry with harmonically trapped quantum matter-wave bright solitons (2016)
Journal Article
Gertjerenken, B., Wiles, T., & Weiss, C. (2016). Progress towards quantum-enhanced interferometry with harmonically trapped quantum matter-wave bright solitons. Physical Review A, 94(5), Article 053638. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.94.053638

We model the dynamics of attractively interacting ultracold bosonic atoms in a quasi-one-dimensional wave guide with additional harmonic trapping. Initially, we prepare the system in its ground state and then shift the zero of the harmonic trap and s...

We present a sample of 45 Damped Lyman-α system (DLA, \nhi\ ≥2×1020cm−2) counterparts (33 detections, 12 upper limits) which host gamma-ray bursts (GRB-DLAs) in order to investigate star-formation and metallicity within galaxies hosting DLAs. Our sam... Read More about Exploring Damped Lyα System Host Galaxies Using Gamma-Ray Bursts.

Revealing the spin–vibronic coupling mechanism of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (2016)
Journal Article

Knowing the underlying photophysics of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) allows proper design of high efficiency organic light-emitting diodes. We have proposed a model to describe reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) in donor–acceptor c...
