We have studied 4265 giant pulses (GPs) from the millisecond pulsar B1937+21; the largest-ever sample gathered for this pulsar, in observations made with the Large European Array for Pulsars. The pulse energy distribution of GPs associated with the i... Read More about A detailed study of giant pulses from PSR B1937+21 using the Large European Array for Pulsars.

Tests of gravitational symmetries with pulsar binary J1713+0747 (2018)
Journal Article

Symmetries play a fundamental role in modern theories of gravity. The strong equivalence principle (SEP) constitutes a collection of gravitational symmetries which are all implemented by general relativity. Alternative theories, however, are generall...

The multiphase circumgalactic medium traced by low metal ions in EAGLE zoom simulations (2018)
Journal Article
Oppenheimer, B. D., Schaye, J., Crain, R. A., Werk, J. K., & Richings, A. J. (2018). The multiphase circumgalactic medium traced by low metal ions in EAGLE zoom simulations. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(1), 835-859. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2281

We explore the circumgalactic metal content traced by commonly observed low ion absorbers, including C II, SiII, SiIII, SiIV, and MgII. We use a set of cosmological hydrodynamical zoom simulations run with the EAGLE model and including a non-equilibr...

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 478(1), 218-227. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1116

We search for continuous gravitational waves (CGWs) produced by individual supermassive black hole binaries in circular orbits using high-cadence timing observations of PSR J1713+0747. We observe this millisecond pulsar using the telescopes in the Eu...

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 479(3), 4216-4224. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty1727

We have measured variations in scattering time-scales in the Crab Pulsar over a 30-yr period, using observations made at 610 MHz with the 42-ft telescope at Jodrell Bank Observatory. Over more recent years, where regular Lovell Telescope observations...

Radiative cooling of swept-up gas in AGN-driven galactic winds and its implications for molecular outflows (2018)
Journal Article

We recently used hydrochemical simulations to demonstrate that molecular outflows observed in luminous quasars can be explained by molecule formation within the active galactic nucleus (AGN) wind. However, these simulations cover a limited parameter... Read More about Radiative cooling of swept-up gas in AGN-driven galactic winds and its implications for molecular outflows.
