TL;DR: A panorama of galaxy structure of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is reported, which directly confirms the basic tenets of the hierarchical galaxy formation model and reveals the shared history of M31 and M33 in the unceasing build-up of galaxies.

TL;DR: The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey has begun and will obtain high quality spectroscopy of some 100000 Milky Way stars, in the field and in open clusters, down to magnitude 19, systematically.

Distances and metallicities for 17 Local Group galaxies
A. W. McConnachie,Mike Irwin,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Geraint F. Lewis,Nial R. Tanvir +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Johnson V and Gunn I photometry for a large number of Local Group galaxies using the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera (INT WFC) was obtained for the top few magnitudes of the red giant branch in each system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A giant stream of metal-rich stars in the halo of the galaxy M31
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of a giant stream of metal-rich stars within the halo of the nearest large galaxy, M31 (the Andromeda galaxy), which may have lost a substantial number of stars owing to tidal interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A vast, thin plane of corotating dwarf galaxies orbiting the Andromeda galaxy

TL;DR: Radial velocity measurements reveal that the satellites in this structure have the same sense of rotation about their host, and shows conclusively that substantial numbers of dwarf satellite galaxies share the same dynamical orbital properties and direction of angular momentum.
