Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…

Planck intermediate results. XXXIX. The Planck list of high-redshift source candidates

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +186

The Planck mission, thanks to its large frequency range and all-sky coverage, has a unique potential for systematically detecting the brightest, and rarest, submillimetre sources o…

Eight Ultra-faint Galaxy Candidates Discovered in Year Two of the Dark Energy Survey

The DES Collaboration, A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol +74

We report the discovery of eight new ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the second year of optical imaging data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Six of these candidates are d…

Planck 2015 results. XXV. Diffuse low-frequency Galactic foregrounds

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +238

(abridged) We discuss the Galactic foreground emission between 20 and 100GHz based on observations by Planck/WMAP. The Commander component-separation tool has been used to separate…
