Journal Article
Kalari, V. M., Vink, J. S., Drew, J. E., Barentsen, G., Drake, J. J., Eislöffel, J., …Wright, N. J. (2015). Classical T Tauri stars with VPHAS+ – I. H α andu-band accretion rates in the Lagoon Nebula M8. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 453(1), 1026-1046. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stv1676

We estimate the accretion rates of 235 Classical T Tauri star (CTTS) candidates in the Lagoon Nebula using ugri H α photometry from the VST Photometric H α survey+. Our sample consists of stars displaying H α excess, the intensity of which is used to... Read More about Classical T Tauri stars with VPHAS+ – I.

New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+ (2015)
Journal Article

O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a pilot study to select and parametrize OB star candidates in the Southern Galactic plane,...
