Exploration of Ellsworth Subglacial Lake: a concept paper on the development, organisation and execution of an experiment to explore, measure and sample the environment of a West Antarctic subglacial lake
Antarctic subglacial lakes have, over the past few years, been hypothesised to house unique forms of life and hold detailed sedimentary records of past climate change. Testing this hypothesis requires in situ ...

Detection of a new white-dwarf binary system in the extreme ultraviolet using the Rosat Wide Field Camera
DETAILED understanding of the evolution of main-sequence stars into white dwarfs depends on knowledge of the chemical composition of white-dwarf atmospheres, but the hottest white dwarfs emit much of their rad...

The gas scintillation proportional counter in the spacelab environment: In-flight performance and post-flight calibration
We describe the in-orbit performance of the gas scintillation proportional counter which formed part of the Spacelab-1 payload. Discontinuities in the instrument gain are observed (similar to those of the xeno...

Periodic X-ray outbursts from A0535+26, 2S1145-619 and GX301-2
We report Ariel V(SSI) observations of three X-ray pulsars A0535+26, 2S1145-619 and GX301-2 (2S1223-624). These sources exhibit X-ray outbursts which appear, on the basis of observations extending over ∼ 5 yea...
