      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 ...
    • A deep catalogue of classical Be stars in the direction towards the Perseus Arm : spectral types and interstellar reddenings 

      Raddi, Roberto; Drew, J.E.; Steeghs, D. T. H.; Wright, Nick; Drake, J. J.; Barentsen, Geert; Fabregat, J.; Sale, S. E. (2015-01)
      We present a catalogue of 247 photometrically and spectroscopically confirmed fainter classical Be stars (13 ≲ r ≲ 16) in the direction of the Perseus Arm of the Milky Way (−1° < b < +4°, 120° < ℓ < 140°). The catalogue ...
    • The Necklace : equatorial and polar outflows from the binary central star of the new planetary nebula IPHASX J194359.5+170901 

      Corradi, R. L. M.; Sabin, L.; Miszalski, B.; Rodriguez-Gil, P.; Santander-Garcia, M.; Jones, D.; Drew, J.E.; Mampaso, A.; Barlow, M.J.; Rubio-Diez, M. M.; Casares, J.; Viironen, K.; Frew, D. J.; Giammanco, C.; Greimel, R.; Sale, S. E. (2011-01)
      IPHASX J194359.5+170901 is a new high-excitation planetary nebula with remarkable characteristics. It consists of a knotty ring expanding at a speed of 28 km s-1, and a fast collimated outflow in the form of faint lobes ...
    • New Galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey

K.; Tamura, M.; Toledo, I. (2011-08)
      Context. VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) is one of the six ESO Public Surveys operating on the new 4-m Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). VVV is scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent ...
    • 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 second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2)
