We present the results of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a ten-year project to map the
full three-dimensional distribution of galaxies in the nearby universe. The Two Micron All Sky …

The presence of dust in galaxies removes one‐half or more of the stellar energy from the UV‐
optical budget of the universe and has a profound impact on our understanding of how …

We present a comprehensive study to measure the locations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)
relative to their host galaxies. In total, we find the offsets of 20 long-duration GRBs from their …

We present K-band imaging observations of ten gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies for
which an optical and/or radio afterglow associated with the GRB event was clearly identified …

We present a Parkes multibeam H i survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This
survey, which is sensitive to spatial structure in the range 200 pc to 10 kpc, complements the …

We present the first results of an observational programme to measure the fundamental
parameters of over 100 eclipsing binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The …

New empirical calibrations of the Red Giant Branch Tip in the I, J, H and K bands based on
two fundamental pillars, namely ω Centauri and 47 Tucanae, have been obtained by using a …

We present 47 spectroscopically confirmed quasars discovered behind the Magellanic
Clouds identified via photometric variability in the MACHO database. Thirty-eight quasars lie …

We present the radial velocities, metallicities and the K-band magnitudes of 74 RR Lyrae
stars in the inner regions of the LMC. The intermediate resolution spectra and infrared …

Context. The reddening maps of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic
Cloud (SMC) are constructed using the Cepheid period–luminosity (P–L) relations. Aims …
