The structure and kinematics of dense gas in NGC 2068
S. L. Walker-Smith, J. S. Richer, J. V. Buckle +3
We have carried out a survey of the NGC 2068 region in the Orion B molecular cloud using HARP on the JCMT, in the 13CO and C18O (J = 3-2) and H13CO+ (J = 4-3) lines. We used 13CO t…

We present the analysis of 12227 type-ab RR Lyrae found among the 200 million public lightcurves in the Catalina Surveys Data Release 1 (CSDR1). These stars span the largest volume…
Young accreted globular clusters in the outer halo of M31
A. D. Mackey, A. P. Huxor, A. M. N. Ferguson +6
We report on Gemini/GMOS observations of two newly discovered globular clusters in the outskirts of M31. These objects, PAndAS-7 and PAndAS-8, lie at a galactocentric radius of ~87…
The extremely low-metallicity tail of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
Else Starkenburg, Vanessa Hill, Eline Tolstoy +10
We present abundances for seven stars in the (extremely) low-metallicity tail of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, from spectra taken with X-shooter on the ESO VLT. Targets wer…
The spectral energy distribution of protoplanetary diss around Massive Young Stellar Objects
Barbara Ercolano, Antonia Bevan, Thomas Robitaille
We investigate the effect of ionising radiation from Massive Young Stellar Objects impinging on their emerging spectral energy distribution. By means of detailed radiative transfer…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: SCUBA-2 observations of radiative feedback in NGC1333
J. Hatchell, T. Wilson, E. Drabek +5
We present observations of NGC1333 from SCUBA-2 on JCMT, observed as a JCMT Gould Belt Survey pilot project during the shared risk campaign when the first of four arrays was instal…
Broken and unbroken: the Milky Way and M31 stellar haloes
A. J. Deason, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +1
We use the Bullock & Johnston suite of simulations to study the density profiles of L*-type galaxy stellar haloes. Observations of the Milky Way and M31 stellar haloes show contras…
A statistical method for measuring the Galactic potential and testing gravity with cold tidal streams
Jorge Peñarrubia, Sergey E. Koposov, Matthew G. Walker
We introduce the Minimum Entropy Method, a simple statistical technique for constraining the Milky Way gravitational potential and simultaneously testing different gravity theories…
The nature of the interstellar medium of the starburst low-metallicity galaxy Haro11: a multi-phase model of the infrared emission
D. Cormier, V. Lebouteiller, S. C. Madden +15
(abridged) Our goal is to describe the multi-phase ISM of the IR bright low-metallicity galaxy Haro 11, dissecting the photoionised and photodissociated gas components. We present…
Thin disk kinematics from RAVE and the solar motion
S. Pasetto, E. K. Grebel, T. Zwitter +14
Aims. We study the Milky Way thin disk with the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) survey. We consider the thin and thick disks as different Galactic components and present a techni…
Thick disk kinematics from RAVE and the solar motion
S. Pasetto, E. K. Grebel, T. Zwitter +14
Radial velocity surveys such as the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) provide us with measurements of hundreds of thousands of nearby stars most of which belong to the Galactic thi…
Planck Intermediate Results. IX. Detection of the Galactic haze with Planck
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +181
Using precise full-sky observations from Planck, and applying several methods of component separation, we identify and characterize the emission from the Galactic "haze" at microwa…
Investigating the source of Planck-detected AME: high resolution observations at 15 GHz
Yvette C. Perrott, Anna M. M. Scaife, Natasha Hurley-Walker +1
The Planck 28.5 GHz maps were searched for potential Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) regions on the scale of or smaller, and several new regions of interest were…
