    Where does galactic dust come from?
    Here we investigate the origin of the dust mass (Mdust) observed in the Milky Way (MW) and of dust scaling relations found in a sample of local galaxies from...

    Which Galaxies Host Bars and Disks? A Study of the Coma Cluster
    We present a study of the bar fraction in the Coma Cluster galaxies based on a sample of ~190 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6...
  • Publication
    Which haloes host Herschel-ATLAS galaxies in the local Universe?
    We measure the projected cross-correlation between low-redshift (z 0.5) far-infrared selected galaxies in the science demonstration phase (SDP) field of the...

    WHT follow-up observations of extremely metal-poor stars identified from SDSS and LAMOST
    Aims: We have identified several tens of extremely metal-poor star candidates from SDSS and LAMOST, which we follow up with the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope...

    Why Buckling Stellar Bars Weaken in Disk Galaxies
    Young stellar bars in disk galaxies experience a vertical buckling instability that terminates their growth and thickens them, resulting in a characteristic...

    Wide Field Optical Photometry of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
    We present optical photometry of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) Galaxy. Data have been collected with CCD mosaic cameras available at the 2.2m ESO/MPI and...

    Wide-field optical imaging on ELAIS N1, ELAIS N2, First Look Survey and Lockman Hole: observations and source catalogues
    We present u-, g-, r-, i- and z-band optical images and associated catalogues taken primarily with the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera on the European...

    Wide-field Precision Kinematics of the M87 Globular Cluster System
    We present the most extensive combined photometric and spectroscopic study to date of the enormous globular cluster (GC) system around M87, the central giant...

    Winds Driven by Super-Star Clusters
    Here we present a self-consistent stationary solution for spherically symmetric winds driven by massive star clusters under the impact of radiative cooling. We...
