Infrared spectroscopy of low-mass X-ray binaries
Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained the first 2.05-2.45 μm infrared spectra of the Galactic bulge low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) GX1+4 and GX13+1. We report...
Infrared spectroscopy of low-mass X-ray binaries - II
Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained 2.00-2.45 mu m infrared spectra of a number of low-mass X-ray binaries including Sco X-1, Sco X-2 and GX1 3+1. Sco X-1...
Infrared spectroscopy of V404 Cygni: limits on the accretion disc contamination
We have obtained for the first time 2.10-2.45 μm infrared spectra of the soft-X-ray transient V404 Cygni. We determine a 95 per cent confidence upper limit to...
INGRID: A near-infrared camera for the William Herschel Telescope
Rapid developments in near-infrared (NIR) arrays and adaptive optics systems have driven the development of wide-field and high-spatial-resolution, high-optical...
Initial data release from the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS)
The INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is an imaging survey being carried out in Hα, r' and i' filters, with the Wide Field...
Initial mass function variability from the integrated light of diverse stellar systems
We present a uniform analysis of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) from integrated light spectroscopy of 15 compact stellar systems (11 globular clusters...
Inner disc rearrangement revealed by dramatic brightness variations in the young star PV Cep
Young Sun-like stars at the beginning of the pre-main-sequence (PMS) evolution are surrounded by accretion discs and remnant protostellar envelopes. Photometric...
Insights into formation scenarios of massive early-type galaxies from spatially resolved stellar population analysis in CALIFA
We perform spatially resolved stellar population analysis for a sample of 69 early-type galaxies (ETGs) from the CALIFA integral field spectroscopic survey...
INSPIRE: INvestigating Stellar Population In RElics - IV. The initial mass function slope in relics
In the last decade, growing evidence has emerged supporting a non-universal stellar initial mass function (IMF) in massive galaxies, with a larger number of...
