First-Authored Publications
Six-Year Study of Submillimetre Protostellar Variability
“The latest JCMT Transient Survey results including a 6-year study on newly discovered variable protostars and their real-time variability. Innovative calibration techniques have uncovered unprcedented detail at these wavelengths.”
A Decade of SCUBA-2
“A comprehensive guide to the calibration and performance of the world's coolest (literally, at 0.6 kelvin) astronomical instrument: SCUBA-2 at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.”
JW 566 Flare
“The discovery of the brightest stellar flare ever recorded in the direction of a young, forming star called JW 566 in the Orion Nebula. The flare was 10 billion times more powerful than a regular solar flare and was likely caused by a magnetic field reconnection.”
GBS/Transient Survey Variability
“Tracking the variability of deeply embedded young protostars across 8 star-forming regions over ~4 year timescales. This is the first time a study such as this has been performed at submillimetre wavelengths.”
Transient Survey Calibrations
“Data reduction and calibration techniques for the JCMT Transient Survey. Reducing the uncertainty in submillimetre variability observations by a factor of 3!”
SCUBA-2: Southern Orion A
“The first look at the rich star-forming region Southern Orion A with the SCUBA-2 instrument at the JCMT. Fragmentation analysis, YSO spatial distribution study, catalogue of sources.”
SCUBA-2 Data Reduction
“Comparison between SCUBA-2 data reduction algorithms highlighting the effects of external masking, spatial filtering, and using peak fluxes as opposed to total fluxes. Describes Gould Belt Survey Data Reduction methods.”
Synthetic Observations
“Using observational analysis methods on synthetic observations of a star-forming molecular cloud. A simulation was post-processed to resemble JCMT and ALMA observations to give insight into Gould Belt Survey and other, similar images.”
