A Two-Micron Galactic Survey
The first results are presented here of the Two-Micron Galactic Survey (TMGS). The TMGS is the most sensitive near-infrared survey of the Galactic plane yet...
A unified model for age-velocity dispersion relations in Local Group galaxies: disentangling ISM turbulence and latent dynamical heating
We analyse age-velocity dispersion relations (AVRs) from kinematics of individual stars in eight Local Group galaxies ranging in mass from Carina (M* ˜ 106 M⊙)...
A unified picture of breaks and truncations in spiral galaxies from SDSS and S4G imaging
The mechanism causing breaks in the radial surface-brightness distribution of spiral galaxies is not yet well known. Despite theoretical efforts, there is not a...
We report the discovery of a very cool brown dwarf, ULAS J003402.77-005206.7 (ULAS J0034-00), identified in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey First Data...
A very dark stellar system lost in Virgo: kinematics and metallicity of SECCO 1 with MUSE
We present the results of VLT-MUSE (Very Large Telescope-Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) integral field spectroscopy of SECCO 1, a faint, star-forming...
A Very Small Array search for the extended Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in the Corona Borealis supercluster
We present interferometric imaging at 33 GHz of the Corona Borealis supercluster, using the extended configuration of the Very Small Array. A total area of 24...
A view of the H-band light-element chemical patterns in globular clusters under the AGB self-enrichment scenario
We discuss the self-enrichment scenario by asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars for the formation of multiple populations in globular clusters (GCs) by analysing...
A Whole Earth Telescope campaign on the pulsating subdwarf B binary system PG 1336-018 (NY Vir)
We present results from a multisite (`Whole Earth Telescope') photometric campaign on PG 1336-018, the close eclipsing binary system containing a pulsating...
A wide deep infrared look at the Pleiades with UKIDSS: new constraints on the substellar binary fraction and the low-mass initial mass function
We present the results of a deep wide-field near-infrared survey of 12 deg2 of the Pleiades conducted as part of the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT)...
