    IGAPS: the merged IPHAS and UVEX optical surveys of the northern Galactic plane
    The INT Galactic Plane Survey (IGAPS) is the merger of the optical photometric surveys, IPHAS and UVEX, based on data from the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT)...

    Impact of Distance Determinations on Galactic Structure. II. Old Tracers
    Here we review the efforts of a number of recent results that use old tracers to understand the build up of the Galaxy. Details that lead directly to using...

    Impact of the Galactic bar on tidal streams within the Galactic disc. The case of the tidal stream of the Hyades
    Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the Galaxy and they are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the...

    Infrared Extinction in the Inner Milky Way through Red Clump Giants
    While the shape of the extinction curve in the infrared is considered to be set and the extinction ratios between infrared bands are usually taken to be...

    Infrared Spectral Fingerprint of Neutral and Charged Endo- and Exohedral Metallofullerenes
    Small metal-containing molecules have been detected and recognized as one of the hybrid species that are efficiently formed in space, especially in the...

    Infrared spectroscopy and integrated molar absorptivity of C60 and C70 fullerenes at extreme temperatures
    The detection of C60 and C70 fullerenes in young planetary nebulae and in reflection nebulae suggests that these molecules are more common in certain...

    Infrared Study of Fullerene Planetary Nebulae
    We present a study of 16 planetary nebulae (PNe) where fullerenes have been detected in their Spitzer Space Telescope spectra. This large sample of objects...
