    • The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey: Design and X-Ray Point-source Catalog 

      Wright, Nicholas J.; Drake, Jeremy J.; Guarcello, Mario G.; Aldcroft, Tom L.; Kashyap, Vinay L.; Damiani, Francesco; DePasquale, Joe; Fruscione, Antonella (2023-11-01)
      The Cygnus OB2 association is the largest concentration of young and massive stars within 2 kpc of the Sun, including an estimated ∼65 O-type stars and hundreds of OB stars. The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey is a large ...
    • Classification of Chandra X-Ray Sources in Cygnus OB2 

      Kashyap, Vinay L.; Guarcello, Mario G.; Wright, Nicholas J.; Drake, Jeremy J.; Flaccomio, Ettore; Aldcroft, Tom L.; Albacete Colombo, Juan F.; Briggs, Kevin; Damiani, Francesco; Drew, Janet E.; Martin, Eduardo L.; Micela, Giusi; Naylor, Tim; Sciortino, Salvatore (2023-11-01)
      We have devised a predominantly Naive Bayes−based method to classify X-ray sources detected by Chandra in the Cygnus OB2 association into members, foreground objects, and background objects. We employ a variety of X-ray, ...
    • Constraints on massive star formation : Cygnus OB2 was always an association 

      Wright, Nicholas J.; Parker, Richard J.; Goodwin, Simon P.; Drake, Jeremy J. (2014-02-01)
      We examine substructure and mass segregation in the massive OB association Cygnus OB2 to better understand its initial conditions. Using a well-understood Chandra X-ray selected sample of young stars, we find that Cyg OB2 ...
    • Cygnus OB2 DANCe: A high-precision proper motion study of the Cygnus OB2 association 

      Wright, Nicholas J.; Wright, Nicholas J.; Bouy, Herve; Drew, Janet E.; Sarro, Luis Manuel; Bertin, Emmanuel; Cuillandre, Jean Charles; Barrado, David (2016-08-11)
      We present a high-precision proper motion study of 873 X-ray and spectroscopically selected stars in the massive OB association Cygnus OB2 as part of the DANCe project. These were calculated from images spanning a 15 yr ...
    • Dynamical evolution of star-forming regions 

      Parker, Richard J.; Wright, Nicholas J.; Goodwin, Simon P.; Meyer, Michael R. (2014-02-01)
      We model the dynamical evolution of star-forming regions with a wide range of initial properties. We follow the evolution of the regions' substructure using the Q-parameter, we search for dynamical mass segregation using ...
    • 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 ...
    • The wide-field, multiplexed, spectroscopic facility WEAVE: Survey design, overview, and simulated implementation 

      WEAVE consortium; Jin, Shoko; Trager, Scott C.; Dalton, Gavin B.; Aguerri, J. Alfonso L.; Drew, J. E.; Falcón-Barroso, Jesús; Gänsicke, Boris T.; Hill, Vanessa; Iovino, Angela; Pieri, Matthew M.; Poggianti, Bianca M.; Smith, D. J. B.; Vallenari, Antonella; Abrams, Don Carlos; Aguado, David S.; Antoja, Teresa; Aragón-Salamanca, Alfonso; Ascasibar, Yago; Babusiaux, Carine; Balcells, Marc; Barrena, R.; Battaglia, Giuseppina; Belokurov, Vasily; Bensby, Thomas; Bonifacio, Piercarlo; Bragaglia, Angela; Carrasco, Esperanza; Carrera, Ricardo; Cornwell, Daniel J.; Domínguez-Palmero, Lilian; Duncan, Kenneth J.; Famaey, Benoit; Fariña, Cecilia; Gonzalez, Oscar A.; Guest, Steve; Hatch, Nina A.; Hess, Kelley M.; Hoskin, Matthew J.; Irwin, Mike; Knapen, Johan H.; Monguió, Maria; Raddi, Roberto; Drake, Alyssa; Gledhill, T. M.; Hardcastle, Martin J.; Harris, Amy; Jarvis, Matt J.; Read, Shaun C.; Williams, Wendy L.; Wright, Nicholas J. (2023-03-11)
      WEAVE, the new wide-field, massively multiplexed spectroscopic survey facility for the William Herschel Telescope, will see first light in late 2022. WEAVE comprises a new 2-degree field-of-view prime-focus corrector system, ...
