Investigating the mechanism of aluminum resistance conferred by aluminum resistance protein 1
Abstract Aluminum does not play any role in essential biological processes, but in acidic conditions it becomes biologically reactive and highly toxic even at low concentrations. Eukaryotes have developed numerous strategies for detoxification, one of which relies on membrane proteins.

Status of the Calan-Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search
In these proceedings we give a status update of the Calan-Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search, an international collaboration led from Chile that aims to discover more planets around super metal-rich and Sun-like stars, and then follow these up with ...

HST/FGS Photometry of Planetary Transits of HD 209458 [PDF]
We present the data, and modeling and analysis results from the photometric monitoring of five planetary transits of HD 209458 using the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We have now included the output from all four FGS photometers in our data reduction and analysis increasing our S/N over our previous results.

Searching for GEMS: Discovery and Characterization of Two Brown Dwarfs Around M Dwarfs
Brown dwarfs bridge the gap between stars and planets, providing valuable insight into both planetary and stellar-formation mechanisms. Yet the census of transiting brown-dwarf companions, in particular around M-dwarf stars, remains incomplete. We report

Transit and secondary eclipse photometry in the near-infrared
Near-infrared photometry of transiting extrasolar planets can be of great scientific value. It is however not straightforward to reach the necessary millimagnitude precision. Here we report on our attempts to observe transits and secondary eclipses of several extrasolar planets at 2.2 micron.

LHS 475 b: A Potential Venus Analog Orbiting a Nearby M Dwarf
Based on photometric observations by TESS, we present the discovery of a potential Venus analog transiting LHS 475, an M3 dwarf located 12.5 pc from the Sun. The mass of the star is 0.274 ± 0.015 M _☉ .

GJ 238 b: A 0.57 Earth Radius Planet Orbiting an M2.5 Dwarf Star at 15.2 pc
We report the discovery of the transiting planet GJ 238 b, with a radius of 0.566 ± 0.014 R _⊕ (1.064 ± 0.026 times the radius of Mars) and an orbital period of 1.74 days. The transit signal was detected by the TESS mission and designated TOI-486.01. The
