The Herschel stripe 82 survey (HerS) : Maps and early catalog
(2014-02-01)
We present the first set of maps and band-merged catalog from the Herschel Stripe 82 Survey (HerS). Observations at 250, 350, and 500 μm were taken with the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver instrument aboard the ...
Constraints on massive star formation : Cygnus OB2 was always an association
(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 ...
Star formation and agn activity in interacting galaxies : A near-UV perspective
(2014-01-21)
We study nearby galaxies in close pairs to study the key factors affecting star formation and active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity triggered during galaxy interactions. Close pairs are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky ...
NGC 1266 as a local candidate for rapid cessation of star formation
(2014-01-10)
We present new Spectrographic Areal Unit for Research on Optical Nebulae (SAURON) integral-field spectroscopy and Swift Ultraviolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) observations of molecular outflow host galaxy NGC 1266 that ...
Evolution of faint radio sources in the VIDEO-XMM3 field
(2013-12-01)
It has been speculated that low-luminosity radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) have the potential to serve as an important source of AGN feedback, and may be responsible for suppressing star formation activity in massive ...
Searching for transits in the Wide Field Camera Transit Survey with difference-imaging light curves
(2013-12)
The Wide Field Camera Transit Survey is a pioneer program aiming at for searching extra-solar planets in the near-infrared. The images from the survey are processed by a data reduction pipeline, which uses aperture photometry ...
Towards precise ages and masses of free floating planetary mass brown dwarfs
(2013-11-01)
Measurement of the substellar initial mass function (IMF) in very young clusters is hampered by the possibility of the age spread of clustermembers. This is particularly serious for candidate planetary mass objects (PMOs), ...
The RMS survey : Galactic distribution of massive star formation
(2013-11)
We have used the well-selected sample of~1750 embedded, young, massive stars identified by the Red MSX Source (RMS) survey to investigate the Galactic distribution of recent massive star formation. We present molecular ...
A young hierarchical triple system harbouring a candidate debris disc
(2013-09-11)
We report the detection of a wide young hierarchical triple system where the primary has a candidate debris disc. The primary, TYC 5241-986-1 A, is a known Tycho star which we classify as a late-K star with emission in the ...
Evolution of star formation in the UKIDSS ultra deep survey field-I. Luminosity functions and cosmic star formation rate out to z = 1.6
(2013-07-21)
We present new results on the cosmic star formation history in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS)-Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field out to z = 1.6. We compile narrowband data from the Subaru Telescope and the Visible and ...
