The Distance, Mass, and Radius of the Neutron Star in 4U 1608-52
Tolga Guver, Feryal Ozel, Antonio Cabrera-Lavers +1
Low mass X-ray binaries that show thermonuclear bursts are ideal sources for constraining the equation of state of neutron star matter. The lack of independent distance measurement…
The long Galactic bar as seen by UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey
A. Cabrera-Lavers, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez, F. Garzon +2
Over the last decade there have been a series of results supporting the hypothesis of the existence of a long thin bar in the Milky Way with a half-length of 4.5 kpc and a position…
Luminosity-Colours relations for thin disc main-sequence stars
S. Bilir, S. Karaali, S. Ak +3
In this study we present the absolute magnitude calibrations of thin disc main-sequence stars in the optical (), and in the near-infrared (). Thin disc stars are iden…
Estimation of galactic model parameters in high latitudes with SDSS
S. Bilir, A. Cabrera-Lavers, S. Karaali +3
We estimated the Galactic model parameters for a set of 36 high-latitude fields included in the currently available Data Release 5 (DR 5) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey ({\em SDSS…
Metallicity distribution of red giants in the Inner Galaxy from Near Infrared spectra
C. González-Fernández, A. Cabrera-Lavers, P. L. Hammersley +1
In this paper, we present low resolution (R=500) near-infrared spectra for selected and serendipitous sources in six inner in-plane Galactic fields, with the aim of analysing the s…
Transformations between 2MASS, SDSS and BVRI photometric systems: bridging the near infrared and optical
S. Bilir, S. Ak, S. Karaali +3
We present colour transformations for the conversion of the {\em 2MASS} photometric system to the Johnson-Cousins system and further into the {\em SDSS} system. We…
The metallicity distributions in high-latitudes with SDSS
S. Ak, S. Bilir, S. Karaali +2
We present metallicities and their variations with different parameters for 36 high-latitude fields covering Galactic longitudes 0<l<360. The metallicities for relatively short ver…
Tracing the long bar with red-clump giants
A. Cabrera-Lavers, P. L. Hammersley, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +3
Over the last decade a series of results have lent support to the hypothesis of the existence of a long thin bar in the Milky Way with a half-length of 4.5 kpc and a position angle…
Estimation of Galactic model parameters in high latitudes with 2MASS
A. Cabrera-Lavers, S. Bilir, S. Ak +2
In this paper, we try to find any dependence of the Galactic structural parameters with the Galactic longitude for either the thin disc or the thick disc of the Milky Way, that wou…
The Long Bar in the Milky Way. Corroboration of an old hypothesis
M. Lopez-Corredoira, A. Cabrera-Lavers, T. J. Mahoney +3
Recent GLIMPSE data have further confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of an in-plane long bar different from the bulge of the Milky Way with the same characteristics as emphas…
A boxy bulge in the Milky Way. Inversion of the stellar statistics equation with 2MASS data
M. Lopez-Corredoira, A. Cabrera-Lavers, O. E. Gerhard
Inverting the stellar statistics equation from 2MASS star counts, we obtain the 3D density distribution of the Galactic bulge as well as its luminosity function in the K-band. This…
Evidence for a deficit of young and old stars in the Milky Way inner in-plane disc
M. Lopez-Corredoira, A. Cabrera-Lavers, O. Gerhard +1
We give independent proof of the deficit of stars in the in-plane central disc with respect to the predictions of a pure exponential density distribution. We use three different me…
A three-dimensional Galactic extinction model
R. Drimmel, A. Cabrera-Lavers, M. Lopez-Corredoira
A large-scale three-dimensional model of Galactic extinction is presented based on the Galactic dust distribution model of Drimmel and Spergel (2001). The extinction A_V to any poi…
Stellar density distribution in the NIR on the Galactic plane at longitudes 15-27 deg. Clues for the Galactic bar ?
S. Picaud, A. Cabrera-Lavers, F. Garzon
Garzon et al. (1997), Lopez-Corredoira et al. (1999) and Hammersley et al. (2000) have identified in TMGS and DENIS data a large excess of stars at l=27 deg and b=0 deg which might…
Old stellar Galactic disc in near-plane regions according to 2MASS: scales, cut-off, flare and warp
M. Lopez-Corredoira, A. Cabrera-Lavers, F. Garzon +1
We have pursued two different methods to analyze the old stellar population near the Galactic plane, using data from the 2MASS survey. The first method is based on the isolation of…
The European Large Area ISO Survey VI - Discovery of a new hyperluminous infrared galaxy
T. Morel, A. Efstathiou, S. Serjeant +20
We report the discovery of the first hyperluminous infrared galaxy (HyLIG) in the course of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). This object has been detected by ISO at 6.7,…
Searching for the in-plane Galactic bar and ring in DENIS
M. Lopez-Corredoira, P. L. Hammersley, F. Garzon +4
New evidence for a long thin Galactic bar (in contradistinction to the bulge), as well as for the existence of the ring and the truncation of the inner disc, are sought in the DENI…
