Scott Chapman,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Geraint F. Lewis,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Mike Irwin,A. W. McConnachie,Nial R. Tanvir +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a metal-poor, [Fe/H]$\sim-1.4$ $\sigma$=0.2 dex, stellar halo component detectable at radii from 10 kpc to 70 kpc, in our nearest giant spiral neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy.

Galactic Archeology with 4MOST
Sofia Feltzing,Thomas Bensby,Maria Bergemann,Cristina Chiappini,Norbert Christlieb,Maria-Rosa L. Cioni,Amina Helmi,Mike Irwin,Ivan Minchev,Else Starkenburg,R. de Jong +10 more
TL;DR: 4MOST is a new wide-field, high-multiplex spectroscopic survey facility for the VISTA telescope of ESO, which will deploy more than 2400 fibres in a 4.1 square degree field-of-view using a positioner based on the tilting spine principle.

AAT/WFI Observations of the Extragalactic HI Cloud HIPASS J1712-64
TL;DR: AAT/WFI optical images of a candidate extragalactic HI cloud, HIPASS J1712-64, were presented in this article, which reinforced earlier suggestions that this HI cloud is most likely Galactic in origin and not a Local Volume dwarf galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sergey E. Koposov,Sergey E. Koposov,J. T. A. de Jong,Vasily Belokurov,Hans-Walter Rix,Daniel B. Zucker,Nick Evans,G. F. Gilmore,Mike Irwin,Eric F. Bell +9 more
TL;DR: Koposov 1 and Koposov 2 were discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 and confirmed with deeper imaging at the Calar Alto Observatory as discussed by the authors, where they are located at approximately 40-50$ kpc and appear to have old stellar populations and luminosities of only $M_V \sim 1$ mag.
