Additional information
As leader of Keele's Spitzer exoplanet programme Maxted was involved with the discovery of WASP-17, its selection as a Spitzer target, and the writing of Spitzer exoplanet proposals. He developed data-analysis techniques for deriving occultation depths in Spitzer data (which are below the level of the instrumental systematics), including supervising Keele PhD student David Anderson, the lead author of this paper. Thus Maxted's development of techniques was key to this paper on WASP-17b, the largest known exoplanet, which is currently the definitive work on dealing with Spitzer systematics for exoplanet work.
