B. Letarte,Scott Chapman,Michelle L. M. Collins,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Mike Irwin,A. M. N. Ferguson,Geraint F. Lewis,Nicolas Martin,Alan W. McConnachie,Nial Tanvir +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph mounted on the Keck II telescope was used to define probable members of the recently discovered M31 satellites And XV and And XVI, lying at projected distances from the centre of M31 of 93 and 130 kpc respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
The AGB population of NGC 6822: distribution and the C/M ratio from JHK photometry
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial distribution of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) population and metallicity in NGC 6822 was studied using deep, high quality JHK photometry.

Martin,Lucio Mayer,Lucio Mayer,Kristen B. W. McQuinn,Julio F. Navarro,Peter B. Stetson +25 more
TL;DR: In this article, the lifetime star formation histories (SFHs) of M31 and Milky Way (MW) satellites were compared using the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope, yielding color-magnitude diagrams that extend at least 1?mag below the oldest main-sequence turnoff.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera survey of the Monoceros Ring: accretion origin or Galactic anomaly?
Blair C. Conn,Geraint F. Lewis,Mike Irwin,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Nial R. Tanvir,Jonathan Irwin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a wide-field camera survey of the stars in the Monoceros Ring, thought to be an additional structure in the Milky Way of unknown origin.
