    • A 3D extinction map of the northern Galactic plane based on IPHAS photometry 

      Sale, S. E.; Drew, J.E.; Barentsen, G.; Farnhill, H. J.; Raddi, R.; Barlow, M. J.; Eisl̈offel, J.; Vink, J. S.; Rodŕiguez-Gil, P.; Wright, N. J. (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) ...

    • A and F stars as probes of outer Galactic disc kinematics 

      Harris, A.; Drew, J. E.; Farnhill, H. J.; Monguió, M.; Gebran, M.; Wright, N. J.; Drake, J. J.; Sale, S. E. (2018-04-01)
      Previous studies of the rotation law in the outer Galactic disc have mainly used gas tracers or clump giants. Here, we explore A and F stars as alternatives: these provide a much denser sampling in the outer disc than gas ...

    • Classical T Tauri stars with VPHAS+ -I : H α and u-band accretion rates in the Lagoon Nebula M8 

      Kalari, V. M.; Vink, J. S.; Drew, J.E.; Barentsen, G.; Drake, J. J.; Eislöffel, J.; Martín, E.L.; Parker, Q. A.; Unruh, Y.C.; Walton, N. A.; Wright, N. J. (2015-10-11)
      We estimate the accretion rates of 235 Classical T Tauri star (CTTS) candidates in the Lagoon Nebula using $ugri$H$\alpha$ photometry from the VPHAS+ survey. Our sample consists of stars displaying H$\alpha$-excess, the ...

    • 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 ...

    • Diffuse X-Ray Emission in the Cygnus OB2 Association 

      Albacete-Colombo, J. F.; Drake, J. J.; Flaccomio, E.; Wright, N. J.; Kashyap, V.; Guarcello, M. G.; Briggs, K.; Drew, J. E.; Fenech, D. M.; Micela, G.; McCollough, M.; Prinja, R. K.; Schneider, N.; Sciortino, S.; Vink, J. S. (2023-11-01)
      We present a large-scale study of diffuse X-ray emission in the nearby massive stellar association Cygnus OB2 as part of the Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Program. We used 40 Chandra X-ray ACIS-I observations covering ∼1.0 ...

    • Discovery of a Long-Lived, High Amplitude Dusty Infrared Transient 

      Britt, C. T.; Maccarone, T. J.; Green, J. D.; Jonker, P. G.; Hynes, R. I.; Torres, M. A. P.; Strader, J.; Chomiuk, L.; Salinas, R.; Lucas, P.; Pena, C. Contreras; Kurtev, R.; Heinke, C.; Smith, L.; Wright, N. J.; Johnson, C.; Steeghs, D.; Nelemans, G. (2016-08-11)
      We report the detection of an infrared selected transient which has lasted at least 5 years, first identified by a large mid-infrared and optical outburst from a faint X-ray source detected with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. ...

    • First release of the IPHAS catalogue of new extended planetary nebulae 

      Sabin, L.; Parker, Q. A.; Corradi, R.L.M.; Guzman-Ramirez, L.; Morris, R.A.H.; Zijlstra, A.A.; Bojičić, I. S.; Frew, D. J.; Guerrero, M.; Stupar, M.; Barlow, M. J.; Cortés Mora, F.; Drew, J.E.; Greimel, R.; Groot, P.; Irwin, J. M.; Irwin, M. J.; Mampaso, A.; Miszalski, B.; Olguín, L.; Phillipps, S.; García, M. Santander; Viironen, K.; Wright, N. J. (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • The O star hinterland of the Galactic starburst, NGC 3603 

      Drew, J. E.; Monguió, M.; Wright, N. J. (2019-06-01)
      The very bright and compact massive young cluster, NGC 3603, has been cited as an example of a starburst in the Milky Way and compared with the much-studied R136/30 Doradus region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Here we ...

    • Physical parameters of IPHAS-selected classical Be stars. (I. Determination procedure and evaluation of the results.)

      We present a semi-automatic procedure to obtain fundamental physical parameters and distances of classical Be (CBe) stars, based on the Barbier-Chalonge-Divan (BCD) spectrophotometric system. Our aim is to apply this ...

    • A Tale of Three Cities : OmegaCAM discovers multiple sequences in the color-magnitude diagram of the Orion Nebula Cluster
