SUPERWASP FINDS A STRONGLY-IRRADIATED TRANSITING GAS-GIANT EXOPLANET
8 November 2007    WHT (NAOMI+INGRID)
The WASP and SOPHIE collaboration has announced the discovery of WASP-3b, one of the hottest exoplanets discovered so far. At a temperature of more than 1700 degrees Celsius WASP-3b has the potential to place stringent constraints on exoplanet atmospheric models. The adaptive optics system of the William Herschel Telescope was used to exclude the possibility of a nearby eclipsing-binary system being the cause of the transits.

A SHARPER LOOK AT NEAR EARTH ASTEROID 2002 NY40
4 September 2002    WHT (NAOMI+INGRID)
The Near Earth Asteroid 2002 NY40 was observed with the William Herschel Telescope on La Palma, Canary Islands, on the night of August 17 to 18, 2002. The asteroid was imaged just before its closest approach to Earth, using the Adaptive Optics system NAOMI. These are the first images of a Near Earth Asteroid obtained with an Adaptive Optics system.

Press release
"INVISIBLE" GALAXIES, DISTORTED ARCS AND GALACTIC RINGS REVEALED BY FIRST IMAGES FROM INGRID
29 June 2000    WHT (INGRID)
The Isaac Newton Group Red Imaging Device (INGRID) saw its first light on the William Herschel Telescope on March 16. INGRID provides astronomers with the opportunity to make large field of view, deep near-infrared observations of the universe, as demonstrated by the images achieved on the first night of scientific use.
