We discuss a new IRAS Faint Source Catalog galaxy redshift catalogue (RIFSCz) which incorporates data from Galex, SDSS, 2MASS, WISE, Akari and Planck. Akari fluxes are consistent with photometry from other far infrared and submillimetre…
We present a result of searching for galaxy clusters that show an indication of global rotation using a spectroscopic sample of galaxies in SDSS and 2dFGRS. We have determined the member galaxies of 899 Abell clusters covered in SDSS and…
A new revision of the McMaster catalog of Milky Way globular clusters is available. This is the first update since 2003 and the biggest single revision since the original version of the catalog published in 1996. The list now contains a…
We present a catalogue of 4098 photometrically selected galaxy clusters with a median redshift <z> = 0.32 in the 270 square degree 'Stripe 82' region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), covering the celestial equator in the Southern…
We present two catalogues of galaxies in the direction of the rich cluster \a85. The first one includes 4,232 galaxies located in a region $\pm 1^\circ$ from the cluster centre. It has been obtained from a list of more than 25,000 galaxy…
We have obtained high-res, high S/N ratio CCD echelle spectra of 10 bright red giants in 3 GCs (47Tuc, NGC6752 and NGC6397) roughly spanning the range of metallicities of the galactic GC system; they reveal no evidence of star to star…
The Galactic globular cluster system is incomplete, especially in the low latitude regions of the Galactic bulge and disk. We report the physical characterization of twelve star clusters in the Milky Way, most of which are explored here for…
Deep imaging data from the Keck II telescope are employed to study the globular cluster (GC) populations in the cores of six rich Abell clusters. The sample includes A754, A1644, A2124, A2147, A2151, and A2152, and spans the redshift range…
We present the serendipitous discovery of an overdensity of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the field of SDSSJ0909-0108, a massive z~0.7 post-starburst galaxy from the SQuIGGLE survey. ALMA observations at 870um and 2mm reveal six galaxies…
We present a new catalog of 11,209 O-rich AGB stars and 7172 C-rich AGB stars in our Galaxy identifying more AGB stars in the bulge component and considering more visual carbon stars. For each object, we cross-identify the IRAS, AKARI, MSX,…
We derive physical properties of 10 submillimeter galaxies located in the CANDELS coverage of the GOODS-S field. The galaxies were first identified as submillimeter sources with the LABOCA bolometer and subsequently targeted for 870um…
(ABRIDGED) Globular clusters trace the formation and evolution of the Milky Way and surrounding galaxies, and outline their chemical enrichment history. To accomplish these tasks it is important to have large samples of clusters with…
Low metallicity massive stars hold the key to interpret numerous processes in the past Universe including re-ionization, starburst galaxies, high-redshift supernovae and GRBs. The Sagittarius Dwarf Irregular Galaxy (SagDIG,…
We report the discovery of a new, chemically distinct population of relatively high-metallicity ([Fe/H] $> -0.7$) red giant stars with super-solar [N/Fe] ($\gtrsim +0.75$) identified within the bulge, disk, and halo of the Milky Way. This…
Context: The combination of optical and near-infrared (NIR) colours has the potential to break the age/metallicity degeneracy and offers a better metallicity sensitivity than optical colours alone. Previous studies of extragalactic globular…
We have measured the clustering properties of low-redshift (z < 0.3) sub-mm galaxies detected at 250 micron in the Herschel-ATLAS Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) field. We selected a sample for which we have high-quality spectroscopic…
Clusters of galaxies in most previous catalogs have redshifts z<0.3. Using the photometric redshifts of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6), we identify 39,668 clusters in the redshift range 0.05< z <0.6…
We present a study of galaxies in the Abell 901/902 Supercluster at z~0.165, based on HST ACS F606W, COMBO-17, Spitzer 24um, XMM-Newton X-ray, and gravitational lensing maps, as part of the STAGES survey. We characterize galaxies with…
The small group of Galactic Globular Clusters (GGC) (Pal 12, Terzan 7, Ruprecht 106, Arp 2) recently discovered to be significantly younger (by ~3-4 Gyr) than the average cluster population of the Galaxy are shown to lie near planes passing…
We present a new improved and completed version of the Flat Galaxy Catalogue (FGC) named the Revised Flat Galaxy Catalogue (RFGC) containing 4236 thin edge-on spiral galaxies and covering the whole sky. The Catalogue is intended to study…
