Detection of new planetary nebulae by IPHAS, the Hα survey of the North Galactic plane
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005-11-28)
IPHAS is an ongoing Hα imaging survey of the North Galactic plane. When completed, it is expected to discover several hundred new Galactic planetary nebulae, in addition to a huge number of Hα emitters. We present here the ...
Linear Line Polarimetry Modelling of Pre-main Sequence Stars
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)
We present emission line polarimetry data and modelling relevant to the circumstellar geometry and kinematics around pre-main sequence stars. For a sample of both Herbig Ae/Be stars and T Tauri stars, we find that most ...
Spectropolarimetry of Young and Evolved Stars
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)
Circumstellar disks play an important role in many stages of the evolution of stars. However, it is only possible to directly image circumstellar disks for a few of the nearest stars. For massive stars, the situation is ...
Discovering interacting binaries with Hα surveys
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)
A deep (R ~ 19.5) photographic Hα Survey of the southern Galactic Plane was recently completed using the UK Schmidt Telescope at the AAO. In addition, we have recently started a similar, CCD-based survey of the northern ...
