DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stab1931
Abstract: Recent observations of young embedded clumpy clusters and statistical identifications of binary star clusters have provided new insights into the formation process and subsequent dynamical evolution of star clusters. The early dynamical evolution of clumpy… read more here.

Abstract: We carry out magnetohydrodynamical simulations with FLASH of the formation of a single, a tight binary ($a\sim$2.5 AU) and a wide binary star ($a\sim$45 AU). We study the outflows and jets from these systems to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx2141
Abstract: The atmospheres of between one quarter and one half of observed single white dwarfs in the Milky Way contain heavy element pollution from planetary debris. The pollution observed in white dwarfs in binary star systems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stx396
Abstract: Solar flares are regularly detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi satellite, however no γ-ray emission from other stellar eruptions has ever been captured. The Swift detection in 2014 April of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz1939
Abstract: Candidate visual binary systems are often found by identifying two stars that are closer together than would be expected by chance. However, in regions with non-trivial density distributions, the ‘random’ distances between stars varies because… read more here.
