Leo V: A Companion of a Companion of the Milky Way Galaxy (2008)
Belokurov, V., Walker, M. G., Evans, N. W., Faria, D. C., Gilmore, G., Irwin, M. J., ...
We report the discovery of a new Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the constellation of Leo identified in data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Leo V lies at a distance of about 180 kpc, and is...
Heiderman, A. L., Jogee, S., Bacon, D. J., Balogh, M. L., Barden, M., Barazza, F. D., ...
We present a study of galaxies in the STAGES survey of the Abell 901/902 supercluster at z~0.165, based on HST ACS F606W, COMBO-17, Spitzer 24um, XMM-Newton X-ray, and gravitational lensing maps. We...

Characterizing Barred Galaxies in the Abell 901/902 Supercluster (2008)
Marinova, I., Jogee, S., Bacon, D., Balogh, M., Barden, M., Barazza, F. D., ...
In dense clusters, higher densities at early epochs as well as physical processes, such as ram pressure stripping and tidal interactions become important, and can have direct consequences for the...
The Luminosity Function of the Milky Way Satellites (2007)
Koposov, S., Belokurov, V., Evans, N. W., Hewett, P. C., Irwin, M. J., Gilmore, G., ...
We quantify the detectability of stellar Milky Way satellites in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5. We show that the effective search volumes for the recently discovered...
The Cosmic Horseshoe: Discovery of an Einstein Ring around a Giant Luminous Red Galaxy (2007)
Belokurov, V., Evans, N. W., Moiseev, A., King, L. J., Hewett, P. C., Pettini, M., ...
We report the discovery of an almost complete Einstein ring of diameter 10" in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5). Spectroscopic data from the 6m telescope of the Special...
The discovery of two extremely low luminosity Milky Way globular clusters (2007)
Koposov, S., Belokurov, V., Zucker, D. B., Evans, N. W., ...
We report the discovery of two extremely low luminosity globular clusters in the Milky Way Halo. These objects were detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 and confirmed with deeper...
The Hercules-Aquila Cloud (2007)
Belokurov, V., Evans, N. W., Bell, E. F., Irwin, M. J., Hewett, P. C., Koposov, S., ...
We present evidence for a substantial overdensity of stars in the direction of the constellations of Hercules and Aquila. The Cloud is centered at a Galactic longitude of about 40 degrees and extends...
Discovery of an Unusual Dwarf Galaxy in the Outskirts of the Milky Way (2007)
Irwin, M. J., Belokurov, V., Evans, N. W., Ryan-Weber, E. V., Koposov, S., ...
In this Letter, we announce the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Leo T, in the Local Group. It was found as a stellar overdensity in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). The...

Koposov, S., Belokurov, V., Rix, H. W., Zucker, D. B., Evans, N. W., ...
We report the discovery of two extremely low luminosity globular clusters in the Milky Way halo. These objects were detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 and confirmed with deeper...
Discovery of an unusual dwarf galaxy in the outskirts of the Milky Way (2007)
Irwin, M. J., Belokurov, V., Evans, N. W., Ryan-Weber, E. V., Koposov, S., ...
We announce the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Leo T, in the Local Group. It was found as a stellar overdensity in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). The color-magnitude...
Cats and dogs, hair and a hero: a quintet of New Milky Way companions (2007)
Belokurov, V., Zucker, D. B., Evans, N. W., Kleyna, J. T., Koposov, S., Hodgkin, S. T., ...
We present five new satellites of the Milky Way discovered in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data, four of which were followed up with either the Subaru or the Isaac Newton Telescopes. They...
