Journal ArticleDOI
Near-infrared Properties of the X-ray-emitting Young Stellar Objects in the Carina Nebula
Thomas Preibisch,Simon Hodgkin,Mike Irwin,James R. Lewis,Robert R. King,Mark J. McCaughrean,Mark J. McCaughrean,Hans Zinnecker,Hans Zinnecker,Leisa K. Townsley,Patrick S. Broos +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used HAWK-I at the ESO Very Large Telescope to conduct a very deep near-IR survey with subarcsecond angular resolution, covering an area of about 1280 arcmin2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inside the whale: the structure and dynamics of the isolated Cetus dwarf spheroidal
Geraint F. Lewis,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Scott Chapman,A. W. McConnachie,Mike Irwin,Eline Tolstoy,Nial R. Tanvir +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a matched-filter analysis of the INT/WFC imaging of the Cetus dwarf galaxy reveals no evidence for significant tidal debris that could have been torn off the galaxy, bolstering the hypothesis that Cetus has never significantly interacted with either the Milky Way or M31.
Journal ArticleDOI
Andromeda XVII: A New Low-Luminosity Satellite of M31
Mike Irwin,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Avon Huxor,Nial R. Tanvir,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Geraint F. Lewis +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery of a new dwarf spheroidal galaxy near M31 on the basis of INT/WFC imaging, which is located at a projected radius of 44 kpc from M31, has a line-of-sight distance of 794 ± 40 kpc measured using the tip of the red giant branch, and therefore lies well within the halo of M31.
Journal ArticleDOI
KiDS+VIKING-450: A new combined optical and near-infrared dataset for cosmology and astrophysics
Angus H. Wright,Hendrik Hildebrandt,Konrad Kuijken,Thomas Erben,R. Blake,Hugo Buddelmeijer,Ami Choi,Nicholas Cross,Jelte T. A. de Jong,Alastair C.

Napolitano,Mario Radovich,Peter Schneider,Cristóbal Sifón,William J. Sutherland,Eckhard Sutorius,Gijs Verdoes Kleijn +24 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new combined optical and near infrared dataset for cosmology and astrophysics, derived by combining ugri-band imaging from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) and ZYJHKs-band images from the VISTA Kilo degree Infrared Galaxy (VIKING) survey.

TL;DR: WEAVE as mentioned in this paper is a multi-object and multi-IFU facility utilizing a new 2-degree prime focus field of view at the WHT, with a buffered pick-and-place positioner system hosting 1000 multiobject (MOS) fibres, 20 integral field units, or a single large IFU for each observation.
