The list of papers below is an (incomplete) cross-section of the literature that Prof. Cornish and Prof. Yunes have found useful in research over the years. We list these papers here for graduate students to have easy access to them. We will pick papers from this list when selecting student research presentations for group meetings. The date each paper was last presented as well as the presenter are shown below each paper, if applicable. A chronological list of these presentations can be found at the bottom of this page.
