TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of a new satellite of the Milky Way in the constellation of Bootes at a distance of ~60 kpc was reported, which makes it one of the faintest galaxies known.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulate IPHAS (r'-Halpha,r'-i') point-source colours using a spectrophotometric library of stellar spectra and available filter transmission profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI
The UKIRT wide field camera ZYJHK photometric system: calibration from 2MASS
TL;DR: In this article, the photometric calibration of data taken with the near-infrared Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS)
TL;DR: In this article, the INT Photometric Halpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) point-source colours were simulated using a spectrophotometric library of stellar spectra and available filter transmission profiles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery and monitoring of the near-infrared counterpart (AT2017gfo) of a binary neutron-star merger event detected as a gravitational wave source by Advanced LIGO/Virgo (GW170817) and as a short gamma-ray burst by Fermi/GBM and Integral/SPI-ACS (GRB 170817A), which is consistent with predictions for the behaviour of a "kilonova/macronova", powered by the radioactive decay of massive neutron-rich nucl
