Anticipatory eye movements evoked after active following versus passive observation of a predictable motion stimulus. [PDF]
, 2008 We used passive and active following of a predictable smooth pursuit stimulus in order to establish if predictive eye movement responses are equivalent under both passive and active conditions. The smooth pursuit stimulus was presented in pairs that were

Variable Stars in the Cetus dSph Galaxy: Population Gradients and Connections with the Star Formation History [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate the variable star content of the isolated, Local Group, dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) Cetus. Multi-epoch, wide-field images collected with the VLT/VIMOS camera allowed us to detect 638 variable stars (630 RR Lyrae stars and 8 Anomalous ...

Discovery of 59ms Pulsations from 1RXS J141256.0+792204 (Calvera) [PDF]
, 2010 We report on a multi-wavelength study of the compact object candidate 1RXS J141256.0+792204 (Calvera). Calvera was observed in the X-rays with XMM/EPIC twice for a total exposure time of ~50 ks. The source spectrum is thermal and well reproduced by a two

Cepheid Variables in the Maser-Host Galaxy NGC 4258 [PDF]
, 2015 We present results of a ground-based survey for Cepheid variables in NGC 4258. This galaxy plays a key role in the Extragalactic Distance Scale due to its very precise and accurate distance determination via VLBI observations of water masers.
