A radial velocity survey of low Galactic latitude structures – II. The Monoceros Ring behind the Canis Major dwarf galaxy
Blair C. Conn,Nicolas F. Martin,Geraint F. Lewis,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Michele Bellazzini,Mike Irwin +5 more
TL;DR: An AAT/2dF Spectrograph Survey of low Galactic latitudes targeting the putative Canis Major dwarf galaxy and the associated tidal debris of stars known as the Monoceros Ring, covering Galactic coordinates and, has revealed the presence of the ring in the background of the canis major dwarf galaxy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first catalogue of point-source ultraviolet (UV)-excess sources selected from the UV-Excess Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (UVEX).
Journal ArticleDOI
An optical counterpart of the giant H I cloud H I 1225+0146
Richard G. McMahon,Mike Irwin,Riccardo Giovanelli,Martha P. Haynes,Arthur M. Wolfe,C. Hazard +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a previously uncataloged dwarf irregular galaxy is associated with the 1225 + 0146 extragalactic H I cloud, which is characterized by a number of knots embedded in low surface brightness material about 1 arcmin in extent.
Journal ArticleDOI

J. C. Richardson,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Alasdair Mackey,Mike Irwin,Scott Chapman,Avon Huxor,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Geraint F. Lewis,Nial R. Tanvir +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high precision photometric view of the stellar populations in the outer halo of M31, using data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS), was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Double star CCD astrometry and photometry
TL;DR: In this article, angular separation, position angle and V and R photometry for 2373 binary stars were obtained with the CCD camera on the 1-m Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope at La Palma.
