  • Evidence for an accretion origin for the outer halo globular cluster system of M31 

    Mackey, Dougal; Huxor, Avon; Ferguson, Annette; Irwin, Mike; Tanvir, Nial; McConnachie, Alan; Ibata, Rodrigo; Chapman, Scott; Lewis, Geraint (2010-05-20)
    We use a sample of newly-discovered globular clusters from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) in combination with previously-catalogued objects to map the spatial distribution of globular clusters in the M31 ...

  • The Link between Submillimetre Galaxies and Luminous Ellipticals: Near-Infrared IFU Spectroscopy of Submillimetre Galaxies 

    Swinbank, Mark; Chapman,; Scott; Smail, Ian; Lindner, Chris; Borys, Colin; Blain, Andrew; Ivison, Rob; Lewis, Geraint (2006-06-15)
    We present two-dimensional spectroscopy covering the rest-frame wavelengths of strong optical emission lines in six luminous submillimetre galaxies at z=1.3--2.5. Together with HST ACS and NICMOS imaging we map the dynamics ...

  • A trio of new Local Group galaxies with extreme properties 

    McConnachie, Alan; Huxor, Avon; Martin, Nicolas; Irwin, Mike; Chapman, Scott; Fahlman, Gregory; Ferguson, Annette; Ibata, Rodrigo; Lewis, Geraint; Richer, Harvey; Tanvir, Nial (2008-12)
    We report on the discovery of three new dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. These galaxies are found in new CFHT/MegaPrime g,i imaging of the south-western quadrant of M31, extending our extant survey area to include the ...
