The debris disc of solar analogue Τ Ceti : Herschel observations and dynamical simulations of the proposed multiplanet system
(2014-11-01)
Τ Ceti is a nearby, mature G-type star very similar to our Sun, with a massive Kuiper Belt analogue and possible multiplanet system that has been compared to our Solar system. We present Herschel Space Observatory images ...
Near-infrared circular polarization survey in star-forming regions : Correlations and trends
(2014-11-01)
We have conducted a systematic near-infrared circular polarization (CP) survey in star-forming regions, covering high-mass, intermediate-mass, and low-mass young stellar objects. All the observations were made using the ...
The curious case of HD 41248. A pair of static signals buried behind red noise
(2014-10-20)
Gaining a better understanding of the effects of stellar-induced radial velocity noise is critical for the future of exoplanet studies since the discovery of the lowest-mass planets using this method will require us to go ...
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) ...
The VMC survey - XII : Star cluster candidates in the large magellanic cloud
(2014-10)
In this work we analyse colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of catalogued star clusters located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), from a YJKs photometric data set obtained by the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for ...
Lofar low-band antenna observations of the 3C 295 and boötes fields : Source counts and ultra-steep spectrum sources
(2014-10-01)
We present Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Low Band observations of the Boötes and 3C 295 fields. Our images made at 34, 46, and 62 MHz reach noise levels of 12, 8, and 5 mJy beam-1, making them the deepest images ever obtained ...
A relationship between specific star formation rate and metallicity gradient within z ~ 1 galaxies from KMOS-HiZELS
(2014-09-21)
We have observed a sample of typical z ~ 1 star-forming galaxies, selected from the HiZELS survey, with the new K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph (KMOS) near-infrared, multi-integral field unit instrument on the Very Large ...
New galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey : Candidates projected on the inner disk and bulge
(2014-09)
Context. VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) is one of six ESO Public Surveys using the 4 meter Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The VVV survey covers the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent ...
Imaging the environment of A z = 6.3 submillimeter galaxy with scuba-2
(2014-08-28)
We describe a search for submillimeter emission in the vicinity of one of the most distant, luminous galaxies known, HerMES FLS3, at z = 6.34, exploiting it as a signpost to a potentially biased region of the early universe, ...
Filaments in the southern giant lobe of Centaurus A : Constraints on nature and origin from modelling and GMRT observations
(2014-08-21)
We present results from imaging of the radio filaments in the southern giant lobe of CentaurusA using data from Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations at 325 and 235 MHz, and outcomes from filament modelling. The ...
