    • The deep OB-star population in Carina from the VST Photometric H-alpha Survey (VPHAS+) 

      Mohr-Smith, M.; Drew, Janet; Napiwotzki, Ralf; Simon-Diaz, S.; Wright, N. J.; Barentsen, Geert; Eisloeffel, J.; Farnhill, Hywel; Greimel, R.; Monguio, Maria; Kalari, V.; Parker, Q. A.; Vink, Jorick S. (2017-02-21)
      Massive OB stars are critical to the ecology of galaxies and yet our knowledge of OB stars in the Milky Way, fainter than V ∼ 12, remains patchy. Data from the VST Photometric Hα Survey (VPHAS+) permit the construction of ...

    • The massive star population of Cygnus OB2 

      Wright, Nick; Drew, J.E.; Mohr-Smith, M. (2015-05-01)
      We have compiled a significantly updated and comprehensive census of massive stars in the nearby Cygnus OB2 association by gathering and homogenizing data from across the literature. The census contains 169 primary OB ...

    • Massive stars in the hinterland of the young cluster, Westerlund 2 

      Drew, J. E.; Herrero, A.; Mohr-Smith, M.; Monguio, M.; Wright, N. J.; Kupfer, T.; Napiwotzki, R. (2018-10-21)
      An unsettled question concerning the formation and distribution of massive stars is whether they must be born in massive clusters and, if found in less dense environments, whether they must have migrated there. With the ...

    • New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+ 

      Mohr-Smith, M.; Drew, J.E.; Barentsen, G.; Wright, N. J.; Napiwotzki, R.; Corradi, R.L.M.; Eislöffel, J.; Groot, P.; Kalari, V.; Parker, Q. A.; Raddi, Roberto; Sale, S. E.; Unruh, Y.C.; Vink, J. S.; Wesson, R. (2015-07-11)
      O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a pilot study to select and parametrise OB star candidates in ...

    • A search for white dwarfs in the Galactic plane: : the field and the open cluster population 

      Raddi, R.; Catalan, S.; Gaensicke, B. T.; Hermes, J. J.; Napiwotzki, R.; Koester, D.; Tremblay, P. -E.; Barentsen, G.; Farnhill, H. J.; Mohr-Smith, M.; Drew, J. E.; Groot, P. J.; Guzman-Ramirez, L.; Parker, Q. A.; Steeghs, D.; Zijlstra, A. (2016-04-01)
      We investigated the prospects for systematic searches of white dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes, using the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) H$\alpha$ Photometric Survey of the Galactic plane and Bulge (VPHAS+). We targeted 17 ...

    • The second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2) 

      Barentsen, Geert; Farnhill, Hywel John; Drew, J.E.; Gonzalez-Solares, E.A.; Greimel, R.; Irwin, M.J.; Miszalski, Brent; Ruhland, Christine; Groot, P.; Mampaso, A.; Sale, S.

(2014-11-11)
      The INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1800 deg2 imaging survey covering Galactic latitudes |b| < 5° and longitudes ℓ = 30°–215° in the r, i, and Hα filters using the Wide Field Camera ...

    • The VST photometric hα survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) 

      Drew, J.E.; González-Solares, Eduardo A.; Greimel, Robert; Irwin, M.J.; Küpcü Yoldaş, A.; Lewis, J.R.; Barentsen, Geert; Eislöffel, Jochen; Farnhill, Hywel J.; Martin, Bill; Walton, Nicholas A.; Mohr-Smith, M.; Raddi, Roberto; Sale, Stuart E.; Wright, Nicholas J.; Groot, Paul J.; Barlow, Michael J.; Corradi, R.L.M.; Drake, Jeremy J.; Fabregat, Juan; Frew, David J.; Gänsicke, Boris T.; Knigge, Christian; Mampaso, Antonio; Morris, R.A.H.; Naylor, Tim J.; Parker, Quentin A.; Phillipps, Steven; Ruhland, Christine; Steeghs, Danny T H; Unruh, Y.C.; Vink, Jorick S.; Wesson, Roger; Zijlstra, Albert (2014-05-21)
      The VST Photometric Hα Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u, g, r, i and Hα at ~1 arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic latitude range -5o ...
