First discovery of an ultra-cool white dwarf benchmark in common proper motion with an M dwarf
M. C. Lam, N. C. Hambly, N. Lodieu +5
Ultra-cool white dwarfs are among the oldest stellar remnants in the Universe. Their efficient gravitational settling and low effective temperatures are responsible for the smooth…
On-orbit performance of the Gaia CCDs at L2
C. Crowley, R. Kohley, N. C. Hambly +19
The European Space Agency's Gaia satellite was launched into orbit around L2 in December 2013 with a payload containing 106 large-format scientific CCDs. The primary goal of the mi…
White paper: Gaia and the end states of stellar evolution
M. A Barstow, S. L. Casewell, S. Catalan +18
This is the product of a Gaia GREAT workshop on "Gaia and the end states of stellar evolution" held at the University of Leicester in April 2011.
Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey: III Praesepe
S. Boudreault, N. Lodieu, N. R. Deacon +1
Over the past decades open clusters have been the subject of many studies. Such studies are crucial considering that the universality of the Initial Mass Function is still a subjec…
Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey: II The Alpha Persei open cluster
N. Lodieu, N. R. Deacon, N. C. Hambly +1
We present the results of a deep (J=19.1 mag) infrared (ZYJHK) survey over the full Alpha Persei open cluster extracted from the Data Release 9 of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Surve…
Astrometric and photometric initial mass functions from the UKIDSS Galactic Clusters Survey: I The Pleiades
N. Lodieu, N. Deacon, N. C. Hambly
We present the results of a deep wide-field near-infrared survey of the entire Pleiades cluster recently released as part of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky (UKIDSS) Galactic Clusters…
