We obtain distances to 383 Galactic Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars from Gaia DR2 parallaxes and Bayesian methods, with a prior based on HII regions and dust extinction. Distances agree...

Photometry at 3.4 and 4.6{mu}m of 128 Population I WC type Wolf-Rayet stars in the Galaxy and 12 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) observed in the WISE NEOWISE-R survey was...

We investigated 12 unclassified B[e] stars or candidates, 8 from the Galaxy, 2 from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), and 2 from the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Based on the...

We present a statistical study of the relative orientation in the plane of the sky between interstellar magnetic fields and filaments hosting cold clumps. For the first time, we...

We create and analyse the largest up-to-date all-sky compilation of the interstellar optical polarization data supplemented by the reddening data This compilation includes 13...

Dust plays a pivotal role in the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium. In the era of mid-/high-resolution spectra and multiband spectral energy distributions, testing...

We present a new radio-selected sample of PNe from the CORNISH survey. We find 90 new PNe, of which 12 are newly discovered and 78 are newly classified as PN. A further 47...

We present the first results from the Swift Ultraviolet Survey of the Magellanic Clouds, the highest resolution ultraviolet (UV) survey of the Magellanic Clouds yet completed....

Using a Bayesian technology, we derived distances and extinctions for over 100000 red giant stars observed by the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)...

We map the dust distribution in the central 180" (~680pc) region of the M31 bulge, based on HST WFC3 and ACS observations in ten bands from near-ultraviolet (2700{AA}) to...

We use near ultraviolet and optical photometry to investigate the dust properties in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. By combining imaging from the Swift/UVOT instrument and...

We analyse deep images from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Clouds in the YJKs filters, covering 14deg^2^ (10 tiles), split into 120 subregions, and comprising the main body...

We study a sample of 11 Type II supernovae (SNe) discovered by the OGLE-IV survey. All objects have well-sampled I-band light curves, and at least one spectrum. We find that two...

We present the panchromatic spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the Local Volume Legacy (LVL) survey which consists of 258 nearby galaxies (D<11Mpc). The wavelength...

We present a first determination of distances and extinctions for individual stars in the first release of the APOKASC catalogue, built from the joint efforts of the Apache...

Until now, it has been impossible to observationally measure how star cluster scaleheight evolves beyond 1Gyr as only small samples have been available. Here, we establish a...

We present a three dimensional map of extinction in the Northern Galactic Plane derived using photometry from the IPHAS survey. We construct the map using a method based on a...

Determining star cluster distances is essential to analyse their properties and distribution in the Galaxy. In particular, it is desirable to have a reliable, purely photometric...

We apply the supernova (SN) extinction curves to reproduce the observed properties of SST J1604+4304 which is a young infrared (IR) galaxy at z~1. The SN extinction curves used...

Astrometric surveys provide the opportunity to measure the absolute magnitudes of large numbers of stars, but only if the individual line-of-sight extinctions are known....
