We have computed the K-correction for emission lines formed on the irradiated face of the companion stars in X-ray binaries. Our results, combined with the...
This review summarizes the observational constraints on the mass spectrum of compact objects in X-ray binaries. We currently have 20 X-ray binaries with...
The masses and density profiles of halos in a LCDM galaxy formation simulation
We investigate the internal structure and density profiles of halos of mass $10^{10}-10^{14}~M_\odot$ in the Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their...
The Maunder Minimum and Climate Change: Have Historical Records Aided Current Research?
We discuss how, in the 1970's, Eddy took clues from the historical researches of Spörer and Maunder in the 19th century to draw attention to the virtual absence...
Presently every telescope at McDonald Observatory is utilized for the search for extrasolar planets. Here we give an overview of the precision Doppler surveys...
The mechanical design for the WEAVE prime focus corrector system
WEAVE is the next-generation, wide-field, optical spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. The WHT...
