Milky Way demographics with the VVV survey III : Evidence for a great dark lane in the 157 million star bulge color-magnitude diagram
(2014-11)
The new generation of IR surveys are revealing and quantifying Galactic features that provide an improved 3D interpretation of our own Galaxy. We present an analysis of the global distribution of dust clouds in the bulge ...
The Gaia-ESO Survey : The analysis of high-resolution UVES spectra of FGK-type stars
(2014-11)
Context. The ongoing Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey is using FLAMES at the VLT to obtain high-quality medium-resolution Giraffe spectra for about 105 stars and high-resolution UVES spectra for about 5000 stars. With ...
A 3D extinction map of the northern Galactic plane based on IPHAS photometry
(2014-10-01)
We present a 3D map of extinction in the northern Galactic plane derived using photometry from the INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the northern Galactic plane. The map has fine angular (~10 arcmin) and distance (100 pc) ...
First release of the IPHAS catalogue of new extended planetary nebulae
(2014-10-01)
We present the first results of our search for new, extended planetary nebulae (PNe) based on careful, systematic, visual scrutiny of the imaging data from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern ...
Evolution in the bias of faint radio sources to z ~ 2.2
(2014-05-21)
Quantifying how the baryonic matter traces the underlying dark matter distribution is key to both understanding galaxy formation and our ability to constrain the cosmological model. Using the cross-correlation function of ...
The Gaia-ESO survey : Processing FLAMES-UVES spectra
(2014-05)
The Gaia-ESO Survey is a large public spectroscopic survey that aims to derive radial velocities and fundamental parameters of about 105 Milky Way stars in the field and in clusters. Observations are carried out with the ...
The star formation history of mass-selected galaxies from the VIDEO survey
(2014-04-01)
We measure star formation rates (SFRs) and specific SFRs (SSFRs) of Ks-selected galaxies from the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations survey by stacking 1.4 GHz Very Large Array data.We split the sample, which spans 0 < ...
Mergers as triggers for nuclear activity : A near-IR study of the close environment of AGN in the VISTA-VIDEO survey
(2014-03-21)
There is an ongoing debate concerning the driver of nuclear activity in galaxies, with active galactic nuclei (AGN) either being triggered by major or minor galactic mergers or, alternatively, through secular processes ...
