What can be deduced from open cluster metallicity measurements?
(Oxford University Press, 2007)
The dependence of [Fe/H] on galactocentric distance, distance from the galactic mid-plane
and age is studied. Both ordinary least-squares and non-parametric regression in the form of a
‘generalized additive model’ are ...
Is there evolution in the infrared Tully–Fisher relation? Comparing two linear regressions
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
In a recent paper, Puech and co-workers compared K-band Tully–Fisher relations derived
for nearby and distant galaxies, respectively. They concluded that the two relations differ,
and deduced that there is evolution in ...
A re-assessment of the nearest neighbour alignment of the X-ray isophotes of galaxy clusters
(Oxford University Press, 2006)
Alignment is defined as the tendency of the distribution of pointing angles between the major
axes of clusters and their nearest neighbours to be more concentrated towards small values
for small nearest neighbour distances, ...
