A 3D extinction map of the northern Galactic plane based on IPHAS photometry (2014)
Journal Article
Sale, S., Drew, J., Barentsen, G., Farnhill, H., Raddi, R., Barlow, M., …Wright, N. (2014). A 3D extinction map of the northern Galactic plane based on IPHAS photometry. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2907-2922. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1090

We present a 3D map of extinction in the northern Galactic plane derived using photometry from the INT/WFC Photometric Ha Survey of the northern Galactic plane. The map has fine angular (~10 arcmin) and distance (100 pc) sampling allied to a signific... Read More about A 3D extinction map of the northern Galactic plane based on IPHAS photometry.

Journal Article
Wright. (2014). The second data release of the INT Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2). Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 3230-3257. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1651

The INT/WFC Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1800 deg2 imaging survey covering Galactic latitudes |b| < 5° and longitudes l = 30°–215° in the r, i, and Ha filters using the Wide Field Camera (WFC) on the 2.5-m Isaac N...

First release of the IPHAS catalogue of new extended planetary nebulae (2014)
Journal Article
Wright, N. J. (2014). First release of the IPHAS catalogue of new extended planetary nebulae. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 3388-3401. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu1404

We present the first results of our search for new, extended planetary nebulae (PNe) based on careful, systematic, visual scrutiny of the imaging data from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Ha Survey of the Northern Galactic plane (IPHAS). The n... Read More about First release of the IPHAS catalogue of new extended planetary nebulae.

The VST Photometric Ha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) (2014)
Journal Article
Wright, N. J. (2014). The VST Photometric Ha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+). Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2036-2058. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stu394

The VST Photometric Ha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+) is surveying the southern Milky Way in u, g, r, i and Ha at ~1?arcsec angular resolution. Its footprint spans the Galactic latitude range -5o < b < +5° at all longitudes... Read More about The VST Photometric Ha Survey of the Southern Galactic Plane and Bulge (VPHAS+).

Ultraviolet-excess sources with a red/infrared counterpart: low-mass companions, debris discs and QSO selection (2014)
Journal Article
Wright, N. J. (2014). Ultraviolet-excess sources with a red/infrared counterpart: low-mass companions, debris discs and QSO selection. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2-13. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt1492

We present the result of the cross-matching between ultraviolet (UV)-excess sources selected from the UV-Excess Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (UVEX) and several infrared (IR) surveys (2MASS, UKIDSS and WISE). From the position in the (J - H)... Read More about Ultraviolet-excess sources with a red/infrared counterpart: low-mass companions, debris discs and QSO selection.

The ionized nebula surrounding the red supergiant W26 in Westerlund 1 (2014)
Journal Article
Wright. (2014). The ionized nebula surrounding the red supergiant W26 in Westerlund 1. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnrasl/slt127

We present Ha images of an ionized nebula surrounding the M2-5Ia red supergiant (RSG) W26 in the massive star cluster Westerlund 1. The nebula consists of a circumstellar shell or ring ~0.1 pc in diameter and a triangular nebula ~0.2 pc from the star...
