    • The evolution of the scatter of the cosmic average color-magnitude relation : demonstrating consistency with the ongoing formation of elliptical galaxies 

      Ruhland, Christine; Bell, Eric F.; Haeussler, Boris; Taylor, Edward N.; Barden, Marco; McIntosh, Daniel H. (2009-04-20)
      We present first measurements of the evolution of the scatter of the cosmic average early-type galaxy color-magnitude relation (CMR) from z = 1 to the present day, finding that it is consistent with models in which galaxies ...
    • 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. E.; Henden, A.A.; Aungwerojwit, A.; Barlow, M.J.; Carter, P.R.; Corradi, R.L.M.; Drake, J. J.; Eisloffel, J.; Fabregat, J.; Gansicke, B.T.; Gentile Fusillo, N. P.; Greiss, S.; Hales, A.S.; Hodgkin, S.; Huckvale, L.; Irwin, J.; King, R.; Knigge, C.; Kupfer, T.; Lagadec, E.; Lennon, D.J.; Lewis, J.R.; Mohr-Smith, M.; Morris, R.A.H.; Naylor, T.; Parker, Q. A.; Phillipps, S.; Pyrzas, S.; Raddi, Roberto; Roelofs, G.; Rodriguez-Gil, P.; Sabin, L.; Scaringi, Simone; Steeghs, D.; Suso, J.; Tata, R.; Unruh, Y.C.; van Roestel, J.; Viironen, K.; Vink, J.S.; Walton, N.A.; Wright, Nick; Zijlstra, A.A. (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 ...
    • Stellar population variations in the Milky Way's stellar halo 

      Bell, Eric F.; Xue, Xiang Xiang; Rix, Hans-Walter; Ruhland, Christine; Hogg, David W. (2010-12)
      If the stellar halos of disk galaxies are built up from the disruption of dwarf galaxies, models predict highly structured variations in the stellar populations within these halos. We test this prediction by studying the ...
    • The structure of the Sagittarius stellar stream as traced by blue horizontal branch stars 

      Ruhland, Christine; Bell, Eric F.; Rix, Hans-Walter; Xue, Xiang-Xiang (2011-04-20)
      We use a sample of blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 to explore the structure of the tidal tails from the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. We use a method yielding BHB star ...
    • 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 ...
