The first release of data from the Herschel ATLAS: the SPIRE images
(2011-07)We have reduced the data taken with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) photometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory in the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) of the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz ... -
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 ... -
First report of an Endornavirus in the Cucurbitaceae
(2005-12-01) -
First Resolved Dust Continuum Measurements of Individual Giant Molecular Clouds in the Andromeda Galaxy
(2020-02-11)In our local Galactic neighborhood, molecular clouds are best studied using a combination of dust measurements, to determine robust masses, sizes, and internal structures of the clouds, and molecular-line observations to ... -
First Results from BISTRO : A SCUBA-2 Polarimeter Survey of the Gould Belt
(2017-06-14)We present the first results from the B-fields In STar-forming Region Observations (BISTRO) survey, using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array 2 camera, with its associated polarimeter (POL-2), on the James Clerk ... -
First results from HerMES on the evolution of the submillimetre luminosity function
(2010-07-01)We have carried out two extremely deep surveys with SPIRE, one of the two cameras on Herschel, at 250 μm, close to the peak of the far-infrared background. We have used the results to investigate the evolution of the ... -
First results from the Calan–Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search : exoplanets and the discovery of an eccentric brown dwarf in the desert
(2009)We report the discovery of a brown dwarf on an eccentric orbit and with a semimajor axis that places it in the brown dwarf desert region around the star HD 191760. The star has a spectral type of G3IV/V and a metallicity ... -
First Results from THINGS: The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)We describe The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS), the largest program ever undertaken at the VLA to perform 21-cm HI observations of the highest quality (» 700, · 5 km s¡1 resolution) of nearby galaxies. The goal of THINGS ... -
First results of an Hα based search of classical Be stars in the Perseus Arm and beyond
(2013-04)We investigate a region of the Galactic plane, between 120° ≤ l ≤ 140° and-1° ≤ b≤+4°, and uncover a population of moderately reddened (E(B-V) ~ 1) classical Be stars within and beyond the Perseus and Outer Arms. 370 ... -
First results of the140ce(N,ү)141ce cross-section measurement at n_tof
(2021-06-17)An accurate measurement of the140Ce(n,ү) energy-dependent cross-section was performed at the n_TOF facility at CERN. This cross-section is of great importance because it represents a bottleneck for the s-process nucleosynthesis ... -
The first retrieval of a substellar subdwarf: A cloud-free SDSS J125637.13-022452.4
(2021-12-08)We present the first retrieval analysis of a substellar subdwarf, SDSS J125637.13-022452.4 (SDSS J1256-0224), using the Brewster retrieval code base. We find SDSS J1256-0224 is best fit by a cloud-free model with an ion ... -
First SCUBA Polarimetry of Two Candidate High-Mass Protostellar Objects
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)We present the first polarimetry towards two candidate highmass protostellar objects - W48W and S152SE. The polarimetry across both candidate HMPOs is ordered with a high degree of polarization (6-8%) compared to that of ... -
The first second : Models of short-term memory traces in the brain
(2009)Many network models in computational neuroscience rise to the challenge of explaining behavioural phenomena ranging from microseconds to tens of seconds using components operating mostly on a time-scale of milliseconds. ... -
First Steps in Bridging the Gap between the Virtual Learning Environment and Social Media : Students Attitudes
(2012-06)The eSCISM project aims to bridge the divide between a student’s academic community of practice and their existing social networks. While students are using social media amongst themselves, a divide remains between tutors’ ... -
The first ten years of the third statutory union recognition procedure in Britain.
(2010)6 June 2010 represented the tenth anniversary of the introduction of the third statutory union recognition procedure in Britain. In order to assess its outcomes and impact, the determinations of the bodies which administer ... -
The First Three Minutes : Seducing the Audience
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2011)The importance of an opening sequence in any short film is discussed, using Arranged Marriage (2003) as an example. I argue that a strong opening sequence is vital to keep interest in a film going. This is possible only ... -
First UK field application and performance of microcapsule-based self-healing concrete
(2019-05-30)Maintaining the health and reliability of our infrastructure is of strategic importance. The current state of the UK infrastructure, and the associated huge costs of inspection, maintenance, repair and eventual replacement, ... -
First VLT spectra of white dwarfs in a globular cluster
(2000)We present the first spectra obtained with the Very Large Telescope for white dwarfs in a globular cluster. Estimates of atmospheric parameters are obtained and compared to evolutionary tracks. We discuss possible implications ...
