Iphas a-type stars with mid-infrared excesses in spitzer surveys
Antonio Hales,Antonio Hales,M. J. Barlow,Janet E. Drew,Janet E. Drew,Yvonne C. Unruh,Robert Greimel,Mike Irwin,Eduardo Gonzalez-Solares +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified 17 A-type stars in the Galactic Plane that have mid-infrared (mid-IR) excesses at 8.6 to 8.7%.
Journal Article
A new satellite galaxy of the Milky Way in the constellation of Sextans.
TL;DR: Une nouvelle galaxie elliptique naine de type Sculptor situee a une distance de 85 kpc a ete decouverte dans la constellation du Sextant, a partir des mesures APM effectuees sur les plaques photographiques du survey Schmidt UK as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploring the Properties of the M31 Halo Globular Cluster System
Avon Huxor,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Nial R. Tanvir,Mike Irwin,Alasdair Mackey,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Terry Bridges,Scott Chapman,Geraint F. Lewis +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the outer halo globular clusters (GCs) of M31 out to an unprecedented radius (120kpc) and derived various ensemble properties, including the magnitude, colour and metallicity distributions, as well as the GC number density profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small-scale chemical abundance analysis in a blue compact dwarf galaxy SBS 1415+437
TL;DR: In this paper, integral field spectroscopic (IFS) observations from Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph-North (GMOS-N) were used to analyse the ionized gas in the principal star-forming region in the blue compact dwarf galaxy SBS 1415+437.
The Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution of the Carina Dwarf Galaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the detailed abundances of 23 chemical elements in nine bright red giant branch stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy are presented based on high-resolution spectra gathered at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and Magellan telescopes.
