Observing the effects of the event horizon in black holes (2003)
Journal Article
Done, C., & Gierliński, M. (2003). Observing the effects of the event horizon in black holes. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 342(4), 1041-1055. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2003.06614.x

The key difference between neutron stars and black holes is the presence/absence of a solid surface. Recent attempts to detect this difference have concentrated on the quiescent luminosity, but here these sources are faint and difficult to observe. I...

A comment on the colour-colour diagrams of low-mass X-ray binaries (2002)
Journal Article
Gierlinski, M., & Done, C. (2002). A comment on the colour-colour diagrams of low-mass X-ray binaries. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 331(4), L47-L50. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2002.05430.x

Disc-accreting neutron stars come in two distinct varieties, atolls and Z sources, named after their differently shaped tracks on a colour–colour diagram as the source luminosity changes. Here we present analysis of three transient atoll sources show... Read More about A comment on the colour-colour diagrams of low-mass X-ray binaries.

The origin of [FeII] emission in NGC 4151 (2002)
Journal Article
Turner, J., Allington-Smith, J., Chapman, S., Content, R., Done, C., Haynes, R., …Morris, S. (2002). The origin of [FeII] emission in NGC 4151. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 331(2), 284-292. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-8711.2002.05214.x

The centre of NGC 4151 has been observed in the J band with the SMIRFS integral field unit (IFU) on the UK Infrared Telescope. A map of [Fe ii] emission is derived, and compared with the distributions of the optical narrow-line region and radio jet.... Read More about The origin of [FeII] emission in NGC 4151.
