4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals

Roelof S. de Jong, +340 more
- 01 Mar 2019 - 
TL;DR: The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metres-class Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) at Paranal, is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

The SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey – III. Astrometry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the algorithms employed in the derivation of the astrometric parameters of the data, and demonstrate their accuracies by comparison with external data sets using the first release of data, the South Galactic Cap survey.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for an accretion origin for the outer halo globular cluster system of m31

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a sample of newly-discovered globular clusters from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) in combination with previously-catalogued objects to map the spatial distribution of Globular clusters in the M31 halo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncovering CDM halo substructure with tidal streams

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the structure of the tidal tails of ancient globular clusters is very sensitive to heating by repeated close encounters with the massive dark sub-halos.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural properties of the M31 dwarf spheroidal galaxies

TL;DR: The projected structures and integrated properties of the Andromeda I, II, III, V, VI, VII and Cetus dwarf spheroidal galaxies are analyzed based upon resolved counts of red giant branch stars as discussed by the authors.
