  • Density Variations in the NW Star Stream of M31 

    Carlberg, R. G., Harvey B. Richer, Alan W. McConnachie, Mike Irwin, et al. 2011. "Density Variations in the NW Star Stream of M31." The Astrophysical Journal 731:124.
    The Pan Andromeda Archeological Survey (PAndAS) CFHT Megaprime survey of the M31-M33 system has found a star stream which extends about 120 kpc NW from the center of M31. The great length of the stream, and the likelihood ...

  • The M33 Globular Cluster System with PAndAS Data: The Last Outer Halo Cluster? 

    Cockcroft, Robert, William E. Harris, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Avon Huxor, et al. 2011. "The M33 Globular Cluster System with PAndAS Data: The Last Outer Halo Cluster?." The Astrophysical Journal 730: 112.
    We use CFHT/MegaCam data to search for outer halo star clusters in M33 as part of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS). This work extends previous studies out to a projected radius of 50 kpc and covers over 40 ...

  • Unearthing Foundations of a Cosmic Cathedral: Searching the Stars for M33's Halo 

    Cockcroft, Robert, Alan W. McConnachie, William E. Harris, Rodrigo Ibata, et al. 2012. "Unearthing Foundations of a Cosmic Cathedral: Searching the Stars for M33's Halo." 428(2): 1248-1262
    We use data from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) to search for evidence of an extended halo component belonging to M33 (the Triangulum Galaxy). We identify a population of red giant branch (RGB) stars at ...
