Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 454(3), 2502-2516. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv2082

We conduct a comprehensive numerical study of the orbital dependence of harassment on early-type dwarfs consisting of 168 different orbits within a realistic, Virgo-like cluster, varying in eccentricity and pericentre distance. We find harassment is... Read More about The sensitivity of harassment to orbit: Mass loss from early-type dwarfs in galaxy clusters.

Carbon-rich grains with isotopic anomalies compared to the Sun are found in primitive meteorites. They were made by stars, and carry the original stellar nucleosynthesis signature. Silicon carbide grains of Type X and C and low-density (LD) graphites... Read More about Carbon-rich presolar grains from massive stars : subsolar ¹²C/¹³C and ¹⁴N/¹⁵N ratios and the mystery of ¹⁵N.

The capability to reconstruct dissolved stellar systems in dynamical and chemical space is a key factor in improving our understanding of the evolution of the Milky Way. Here we concentrate on the dynamical aspect and given that a significant portion... Read More about Tracking Cluster Debris (TraCD) – I. Dissolution of clusters and searching for the solar cradle.

Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential discs (2015)

We present accurate models of the gravitational potential produced by a radially exponential disc mass distribution. The models are produced by combining three separate Miyamoto–Nagai discs. Such models have been used previously to model the disc of... Read More about Simple and accurate modelling of the gravitational potential produced by thick and thin exponential discs.

We study the kinematics of a local sample of stars, located within a cylinder of 500 pc radius centered on the Sun, in the RAVE data set. We find clear asymmetries in the v R v∞ velocity distributions of thin and thick disk stars: there are more sta... Read More about The imprints of the Galactic Bar on the Thick Disk with RAVE.
