New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+
(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 3D extinction map of the northern Galactic plane based on IPHAS photometry
(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) ...
