Multi-periodic pulsations of a stripped red-giant star in an eclipsing binary system.

Maxted wrote the telescope proposal that made possible this discovery of a new type of pulsating binary star, developed and applied new techniques for the analysis of the data, established an international collaboration to bring theoretical insight into this study, and wrote the paper. This prototype of a new type of pulsating binary was found in WASP-South survey data, for which Maxted has made major contributions to the hardware and software.
