Searching for transit timing variations in transiting exoplanet systems
M. Hrudková,Ian Skillen,Chris Benn,Don Pollacco,Neale P. Gibson,Yogesh C. Joshi,Petr Harmanec,Simon Tulloch +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations to derive transit times and their uncertainties for two transiting exoplanet systems, TrES-1 and WASP-2.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Two-degree FOV prime focus corrector and ADC concepts for the 4.2m WHT
TL;DR: In this paper, two conceptual optical designs for a new refractive corrector for the prime focus of the 4.2m William======Herschel Telescope, optimised to allow wide-field multi-object spectroscopy, were presented.

Brown,Diego Cano,Chris Evans,Amina Helmi,Ian Lewis,Ross J. McLure,Reynier Peletier,Ismael Perez-Fournon,Ray M. Sharples,Ian Tosh,Ignacio Trujillo,N. A. Walton,Kyle B. Westfall +23 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a science case and design drivers for a wide-field multi-object spectrograph (MOS) with integral field units for the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) on La Palma.

Impact of astronomical research from different countries
Sebastián F. Sánchez,Chris Benn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the impact of astronomical research carried out by different countries by analyzing the 1000 most-cited astronomy papers published 1991-8 (125 from each year) and found that 61% of the citations are to papers with first authors at institutions in the USA, 11% in the UK, 5% in Germany, 4% in Canada, 3% in Italy and 3%, in France.
