The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51
The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…
Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
Visplot: A visibility plot and observation scheduling tool for astronomical observatories
Emanuel Gafton, Illa R. Losada
We present Visplot, a free and open-source tool designed for interactive construction and refinement of nightly telescope observing schedules through a graphical user interface. Th…
Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Mapping formation pathways of nuclear star clusters across galaxies
Francesca Pinna, Isabel Pérez, Anna Ferré-Mateu +21
Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are dense, compact stellar systems only a few parsecs across, located at galaxy centers. Their small sizes make them difficult to resolve spatially. NS…
The synchronised dance of the Magellanic Clouds' star formation history
P. Massana, T. Ruiz-Lara, N. E. D. Noël +17
We use the SMASH survey to obtain unprecedented deep photometry reaching down to the oldest main sequence turn-offs in the colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the Small Magellanic…
The 1989 and 2015 outbursts of V404 Cygni: a global study of wind-related optical features
D. Mata Sánchez, T. Muñoz-Darias, J. Casares +19
The black hole transient V404 Cygni exhibited a bright outburst in June 2015 that was intensively followed over a wide range of wavelengths. Our team obtained high time resolution…
A transit timing analysis of nine RISE light curves of the exoplanet system TrES-3
N. P. Gibson, D. Pollacco, I. Skillen +9
We present nine newly observed transits of TrES-3, taken as part of a transit timing program using the RISE instrument on the Liverpool Telescope. A Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo analys…
Updated parameters for the transiting exoplanet WASP-3b using RISE, a new fast camera for the Liverpool Telescope
N. P. Gibson, D. Pollacco, E. K. Simpson +9
Some of the first results are reported from RISE - a new fast camera mounted on the Liverpool Telescope primarily designed to obtain high time resolution light curves of transiting…
Searching for transit timing variations in transiting exoplanet systems
Marie Hrudková, Ian Skillen, Chris Benn +5
Searching for transit timing variations in the known transiting exoplanet systems can reveal the presence of other bodies in the system. Here we report such searches for two transi…
The IPHAS Catalogue of Halpha Emission Line Sources in the Northern Galactic Plane
A. R. Witham, C. Knigge, J. E. Drew +5
We present a catalogue of point-source Halpha emission line objects selected from the INT/WFC Photometric H Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS). The catalogue covers t…
New UltraCool and Halo White Dwarf Candidates in SDSS Stripe 82
S. Vidrih, D. M. Bramich, P. C. Hewett +16
A 2.5 x 100 degree region along the celestial equator (Stripe 82) has been imaged repeatedly from 1998 to 2005 by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. A new catalogue of ~4 million light-…
The Luminosity Function of PNe with different morphology
L. Magrini, R. L. M. Corradi, P. Leisy +3
We have analyzed the behaviour of various parameters of PNe in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) and the Galaxy as a function of their morphology. The luminosity function of different mo…
Highly extinguished supernovae in the nuclear regions of starburst galaxies
S. Mattila, W. P. S. Meikle, R. Greimel
A handful of nearby supernovae (SNe) with visual extinctions of a few magnitudes have recently been discovered. However, an undiscovered population of much more highly extinguished…
Star Formation in Satellite Galaxies
Jose G. Funes SJ, Carlos M. Gutierrez, Francisco Prada +2
The study of satellite galaxies can provide information on the merging and aggregation processes which, according to the hierarchical clustering models, form the larger spiral gala…
Gas motions in the plane of the spiral galaxy NGC 3631
A. M. Fridman, O. V. Khoruzhii, E. V. Polyachenko +7
The velocity field of the nearly face-on galaxy NGC 3631, derived from observations in the H alpha line and the HI radio line, is analysed to study perturbations related to the spi…
