Formation of undermassive single white dwarfs and the influence of planets on late stellar evolution [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 335 (1998) L85-L88, 1998
We propose a scenario to form low-mass, single, slow rotating white dwarfs from a solar-like star accompanied by a massive planet, or a brown dwarf, in a relatively close orbit (e.g. HD 89707). Such white dwarfs were recently found by Maxted & Marsh (1998).

White dwarfs in the European Galactic Plane Surveys (EGAPS) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2006
The space density of white dwarfs is highly uncertain even nearby. This results from the fact that the known sample of white dwarfs is largely incomplete in part because most white dwarfs have been discovered as by-products in non-dedicated surveys.

Sí se puede: The enduring legacy of Mexico on wine and politics

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The cultural significance of the grapevine is undeniable. However, we fail to acknowledge how the grapevine has and continues to influence the most pressing political questions of our time.

The current state of peas in the United Kingdom; diversity, heritage and food systems

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Landraces and traditional pea varieties hold great potential for enhancing agrobiodiversity and promoting pulse consumption, offering a rich historical and cultural resource for the UK food system. Unfortunately, many traditional pea varieties are lost, and those saved are often kept in seed banks or used only by small‐scale growers.
