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

    Conn, Anthony R., Rodrigo A. Ibata, Geraint F. Lewis, Quentin A. Parker, et al. 2012. "A Bayesian Approach to Locating the Red Giant Branch Tip Magnitude (Part II); Distances to the Satellites of M31." The Astrophysical Journal 758:11.
    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., Geraint F. Lewis, Rodrigo A. Ibata, Quentin A. Parker, et al. 2013. "The Three-Dimensional Structure of the M31 Satellite System; Strong Evidence for an Inhomogeneous Distribution of Satellites." The Astrophysical Journal 766(2):120.
    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 ...
