Journal Article
Wright. (2021). Proper motions of OB stars in the far Carina Arm. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 4952 - 4968. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2905

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p>In large-scale maps of the Galactic disc, the Carina Arm stands out as a clear spiral feature, hosting prominent star clusters and associations rich in massive stars. We study the proper motions of 4199 O and... Read More about Proper motions of OB stars in the far Carina Arm.

High-resolution H alpha imaging of the northern Galactic plane and the IGAPS image database (2021)
Journal Article
Wright. (2021). High-resolution H alpha imaging of the northern Galactic plane and the IGAPS image database. Astronomy & Astrophysics, https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202140950

The INT Galactic Plane Survey (IGAPS) is the merger of the optical photometric surveys IPHAS and UVEX based on data from the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) obtained between 2003 and 2018. It captures the entire northern Galactic plane within the Galact... Read More about High-resolution H alpha imaging of the northern Galactic plane and the IGAPS image database.

The Gaia-ESO Survey: Membership probabilities for stars in 63 open and 7 globular clusters from 3D kinematics (2021)
Journal Article

Spectroscopy from the final internal data release of the Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) has been combined with Gaia EDR3 to assign membership probabilities to targets observed towards 63 Galactic open clusters and 7 globular clusters. The membership probabili... Read More about The Gaia-ESO Survey: Membership probabilities for stars in 63 open and 7 globular clusters from 3D kinematics.

Revisiting the Cygnus OB associations (2021)
Journal Article
Wright. (2021). Revisiting the Cygnus OB associations. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2370 - 2385. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2663

OB associations play an important role in Galactic evolution, though their origins and dynamics remain poorly studied, with only a small number of systems analysed in detail. In this paper, we revisit the existence and membership of the Cygnus OB ass... Read More about Revisiting the Cygnus OB associations.

Dispersal timescale of protoplanetary disks in the low-metallicity young cluster Dolidze 25 (2021)
Journal Article
Wright. (2021). Dispersal timescale of protoplanetary disks in the low-metallicity young cluster Dolidze 25. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 1-37. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202140361

<jats:p><jats:italic>Context.</jats:italic> The dispersal of protoplanetary disks sets the timescale that is available for planets to assemble, and thus it is one of the fundamental parameters in theories of planetary formation. Disk dispersal is det... Read More about Dispersal timescale of protoplanetary disks in the low-metallicity young cluster Dolidze 25.
