TL;DR: In this paper, optical photometric observations of a small near-Earth asteroid, (54509) 2000 PH5, acquired over 4 years were obtained and it was found that the asteroid has been continuously increasing its rotation rate ω over this period by dω/dt = 2.0 (± 0.2) × 10−4 degrees per day squared.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first quality-controlled and globally calibrated source catalogue derived from the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) survey, providing single-epoch photometry for 219 million unique sources across 92 per cent of the footprint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globular Clusters with Tidal Tails: Deep Two-Color Star Counts
TL;DR: In this article, the outer structure of 12 Galactic globular clusters using star-count analyses was examined and the authors found that most of the sample clusters show extra-tidal wings in their surface density profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
The SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey. Paper III: Astrometry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the algorithms employed in the derivation of the astrometric parameters of the data, and demonstrate their accuracies by comparison with external datasets using the first release of data, the South Galactic Cap survey.
