  • A Bayesian Approach to Locating the Red Giant Branch Tip Magnitude (Part II); Distances to the Satellites of M31 

    Conn, Anthony R.; Ibata, Rodrigo A.; Lewis, Geraint F.; Parker, Quentin A.; Zucker, Daniel B.; Martin, Nicolas F.; McConnachie, Alan W.; Irwin, Mike J.; Tanvir, Nial; Fardal, Mark A.; Ferguson, Annette M. N.; Chapman, Scott C.; Valls-Gabaud, David (2012-09-21)
    In `A Bayesian Approach to Locating the Red Giant Branch Tip Magnitude (PART I),' a new technique was introduced for obtaining distances using the TRGB standard candle. Here we describe a useful complement to the technique ...

  • The Three-Dimensional Structure of the M31 Satellite System; Strong Evidence for an Inhomogeneous Distribution of Satellites 

    Conn, Anthony R.; Lewis, Geraint F.; Ibata, Rodrigo A.; Parker, Quentin A.; Zucker, Daniel B.; McConnachie, Alan W.; Martin, Nicolas F.; Valls-Gabaud, David; Tanvir, Nial; Irwin, Michael J.; Ferguson, Annette M. N.; Chapman, Scott C. (2013-01-29)
    We undertake an investigation into the spatial structure of the M31 satellite system utilizing the distance distributions presented in a previous publication. These distances make use of the unique combination of depth and ...
