Proceedings ArticleDOI
The WFCAM/UKIDSS data archive: problems and opportunities
Andy Lawrence,Nigel Hambly,Bob Mann,Mike Irwin,Richard G. McMahon,James R. Lewis,Andrew J. Adamson +6 more
TL;DR: Current plans for the data archive system are presented, which will be provided as a standard service for all UK WFCAM data whether private or public survey data, and three levels of archive service are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
ACS photometry of extended, luminous globular clusters in the outskirts of M31
Alasdair Mackey,Avon Huxor,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Nial R. Tanvir,Mike Irwin,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Terry J. Bridges,R. A. Johnson,Geraint F. Lewis +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first results from deep ACS imaging of four such clusters, one of which is a newly-discovered example lying at a projected distance of ~60 kpc from M31, were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The photometric properties of a vast stellar substructure in the outskirts of M33
Alan W. McConnachie,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Mike Irwin,John Dubinski,Lawrence M. Widrow,Aaron Dotter,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Geraint F. Lewis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a surface brightness map of M33 was constructed from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) data and the stellar populations of this feature were consistent with an old population with an interquartile range in metallicity of $-sim-1.6$dex.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Observational Limit on the Dwarf Galaxy Population of the Local Group
TL;DR: In this article, the results of an all-sky, deep optical survey for faint Local Group dwarf galaxies were presented, and it was concluded that there are at most one or two dwarf galaxies still undiscovered in the clear part of the sky, and a roughly a dozen hidden behind the Milky Way.
Book ChapterDOI
The VISTA Data Flow System
TL;DR: The Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) is a new ESO telescope that will be commissioned in late 2007 as discussed by the authors, which is specifically designed for survey work in both the visible and near infrared, but to start with will only have an infrared camera.
