Galactic Line Emission
Research on the photo-excited component of the interstellar medium continues through our involvement with various large scale surveys of the Galactic Plane. These surveys have included the Southern H-alpha Survey and its northern sky counterpart IPHAS. More recently we have been using high quality data of the Southern Milky Way from VPHAS+ and we will be returning to the Northern Sky using data from the WEAVE project.
