Distances to Dark Clouds: Comparing Extinction Distances to Maser Parallax Distances
Jonathan B. Foster, Joseph J. Stead, Robert A. Benjamin +2
We test two different methods of using near-infrared extinction to estimate distances to dark clouds in the first quadrant of the Galaxy using large near infrared (2MASS and UKIDSS…
VVV DR1: The First Data Release of the Milky Way Bulge and Southern Plane from the Near-Infrared ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, D. Minniti +107
The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for…
Determining the Age of Young Embedded Clusters
Joseph Stead, Melvin Hoare
A new Monte Carlo method has been developed in order to derive ages of young embedded clusters within massive star forming regions where there is strong differential reddening. Aft…
The RMS Survey: Critical Tests of Accretion Models for the Formation of Massive Stars
Ben Davies, Melvin G. Hoare, Stuart L. Lumsden +5
There is currently no accepted theoretical framework for the formation of the most massive stars, and the manner in which protostars continue to accrete and grow in mass beyond \si…
The Luminosity Functions and Timescales of MYSOs and Compact HII regions
Joseph C. Mottram, Melvin G. Hoare, Ben Davies +6
We present a determination of the luminosity functions of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and compact (C)HII regions within the Milky Way Galaxy using the large, well-selecte…
The RMS Survey: The Bolometric Fluxes and Luminosity Distributions of Young Massive Stars
Joseph C. Mottram, M. G. Hoare, J. S. Urquhart +6
Context: The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is returning a large sample of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and ultra-compact (UC) \HII{} regions using follow-up observations of…
The RMS Survey: Distribution and properties of a sample of massive young stars
J. S. Urquhart, T. J. T. Moore, M. G. Hoare +6
The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey has identified a large sample of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and ultra compact (UC) HII regions from a sample of ~2000 MSX and 2MASS colou…
Molecular cloud distance determination from deep NIR survey extinction measurements
J. J. Stead, M. G. Hoare
Using near infrared UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey data, we make extinction measurements to individual stars along the same line of sight as molecular clouds. Using an existing 3D ex…
The RMS Survey: Far-Infrared Photometry of Young Massive Stars
J. C. Mottram, M. G. Hoare, S. L. Lumsden +5
Context: The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey is a multi-wavelength campaign of follow-up observations of a colour-selected sample of candidate massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) in…
The Slope of the Near Infrared Extinction Law
J. J. Stead, M. G. Hoare
We determine the slope of the near infrared extinction power law (A) for 8 regions of the Galaxy between l and . UKIDSS Galactic…
The RMS Survey: H2O masers towards a sample of southern hemisphere massive YSO candidates and ultra compact HII regions
J. S. Urquhart, M. G. Hoare, S. L. Lumsden +6
Context: The Red MSX Source (RMS) survey has identified a large sample of candidate massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and ultra compact (UC) HII regions from a sample of ~2000…
