Abstract: M31-2015-LRN is a likely stellar merger discovered in the Andromeda Galaxy in 2015. We present new optical to mid-infrared photometry and optical spectroscopy for this event. The transient brightened by ∼3 mag as compared to… read more here.

Abstract: We revisit the orbital history of the Triangulum galaxy (M33) around the Andromeda galaxy (M31) in view of the recent Gaia Data Release 2 proper motion measurements for both Local Group galaxies. Earlier studies consider… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1430
Abstract: We use young clusters and giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the galaxies M33 and M31 to constrain temporal and spatial scales in the star formation process. In M33, we compare the PHATTER catalogue of 1214… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz709
Abstract: The globular clusters of large spiral galaxies can be divided into two populations: one that formed in situ and one that comprises clusters tidally stripped away from other galaxies. In this paper, we investigate the… read more here.
