Globular clusters in the outer halo of M31: the survey

A. P. Huxor, N. R. Tanvir, A. M. N. Ferguson +4

We report the discovery of 40 new globular clusters (GCs) that have been found in surveys of the halo of M31 based on INT/WFC and CHFT/Megacam imagery. A subset of these these new…

Kinematic outliers in the LMC: constraints on star-star microlensing

HongSheng Zhao, Rodrigo Ibata, Geraint Lewis +1

Although a decade of microlensing searches towards the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has detected 13-25 possible microlensing events, the nature and the location of the lenses, bein…
