Modelling of the Complex CASSOWARY/SLUGS Gravitational Lenses
Brendon J. Brewer,Geraint F. Lewis,Vasily Belokurov,Mike Irwin,Terry J. Bridges,N. Wyn Evans +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first high-resolution images of CSWA 31, a group-group gravitational lens system observed as part of the SLUGS (Sloan Lenses Unravelled by Gemini Studies) program.

Kinematics of the Tucana Dwarf Galaxy: an unusually dense dwarf in the Local Group
Alexandra L. Gregory,Michelle L. M. Collins,Justin I. Read,Mike Irwin,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Nicolas F. Martin,Nicolas F. Martin,Alan W. McConnachie,Daniel R. Weisz +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a FLAMES+GIRAFFE spectroscopy of 36 member stars in the isolated Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Tucana was presented, and the authors measured a systemic velocity for the system of vTuc=216.7+2.9−2.1 kpc−1.

The Three-Dimensional Structure of the M31 Satellite System; Strong Evidence for an Inhomogeneous Distribution of Satellites
Anthony R. Conn,Anthony R. Conn,Geraint F. Lewis,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Quentin A. Parker,Quentin A. Parker,Daniel B. Zucker,Daniel B. Zucker,Alan W. McConnachie,Nicolas F. Martin,Nicolas F. Martin,David Valls-Gabaud,Nial R. Tanvir,Mike Irwin,Annette M. N. Ferguson,Scott C. Chapman +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the spatial structure of the M31 satellite system utilizing the distance distributions presented in a previous publication and found that the satellite distribution, when viewed as a whole, is no more planar than one would expect from a random distribution of equal size.
