Sandra Greiss,D. Steeghs,Boris T. Gänsicke,E. L. Martín,Paul J. Groot,Mike Irwin,E. A. Gonzalez-Solares,Robert Greimel,N. P. Gentile Fusillo,Martin Still +9 more
TL;DR: The second data release of the Kepler-INT Survey (KIS, Greiss et al. 2012) as discussed by the authors covers an additional ~63 sq.deg of the KIS field, covering all the objects from the initial data release catalogue.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors measured homogeneous distances to M31 and 38 associated stellar systems (−16.8 ≤ M V ≤ −6.0), using time-series observations of RR Lyrae stars taken as part of the Hubble Space Telescope Treasury Survey of M31 Satellites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The PAndAS view of the Andromeda satellite system - I. A Bayesian search for dwarf galaxies using spatial and color-magnitude information
Nicolas F. Martin,Nicolas F. Martin,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Alan W. McConnachie,A. Dougal Mackey,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Mike Irwin,Geraint F. Lewis,Mark A. Fardal +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generic algorithm to search for dwarf galaxies in photometric catalogs and apply it to the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A search for star formation around the Galactic halo B-type star PHL 346 with the 2dF spectrograph
B.B. Lynn,Philip Dufton,Francis P. Keenan,Nigel Hambly,Mike Irwin,Gerry Gilmore,W. R. J. Rolleston +6 more
TL;DR: A preliminary search for stars that may have formed coevally with the apparently young halo B-type star PHL 346 has been performed with the 2dF multifibre spectrograph on the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of diffuse background on the spatially-resolved Schmidt relation in nearby spiral galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the local Schmidt relations in nine nearby spiral galaxies taking into account the effect of inclusion and removal of diffuse background in SFR tracers as well as in the atomic gas.
