This article reviews observations and models of the diffuse ionized gas that permeates the disk and halo of our Galaxy and others. It was inspired by a series...
The SuperWASP cameras are wide-field imaging systems at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, and at the...
The water ice rich surface of (145453) 2005 RR43: a case for a carbon-depleted population of TNOs?
Context: Recent results suggest that there is a group of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) (2003 EL{61} being the biggest member), with surfaces composed of almost...
The Wave-Front Correction System for the Sunrise Balloon-Borne Solar Observatory
This paper describes the wave-front correction system developed for the Sunrise balloon telescope, and it provides information about its in-flight performance...
The WaZP galaxy cluster sample of the dark energy survey year 1
We present a new (2+1)D galaxy cluster finder based on photometric redshifts called Wavelet Z Photometric (WaZP) applied to DES first year (Y1A1) data. The...
The Weakening Outburst of the Young Eruptive Star V582 Aur
V582 Aur is a pre-main-sequence FU Orionis type eruptive star, which entered a brightness minimum in 2016 March due to changes in the line-of-sight extinction...
The WEAVE acquisition and guiding software: pattern recognition-based acquisition and multifibre guiding
We present the architecture, implementation, and on-sky validation of the fully automated acquisition and guiding system (AG) developed for the WEAVE instrument...
The WEAVE-TwiLight-Survey: expanding WEAVE's reach to bright and low-surface-density targets with a novel observing mode
Current-day multi-object spectroscopic surveys are often limited in their ability to observe bright stars due to their low surface densities, resulting in...
